Why do we have to touch that list on shutdown?
We Release() all the things in it (nsIWeakReferences in this case).
Well, that was sort of my point (gotta work on my style of being overly
terse, sorry about that!). Why do we need to do that?
I just checked and the implementations of the only two implementations
of that interface (nsWeakReference and nsNodeWeakReference) do not have
any side effects which will result in a write to disk. So I don't see
if we just avoid clearing the observer list hashtable at shutdown (I
mean, besides keeping it enabled in debug builds of course.)
That said, the "minutes" cases are the ones where the notification is
one that's actually fired at shutdown, because then we start removing
the observers from the list, etc...
Ah... That actually rings a bell, I think. :-)
Cheers,
Ehsan
