commit 01d2047a74a61e1748361f5eaf3257b17b09f776 Author: David Fifield david@bamsoftware.com Date: Fri Jul 15 21:03:35 2011 +0000

Store references to proxy pairs to avoid garbage collection.

Adding an event listener is not enough to keep a proxy pair alive. Pairs could be garbage-collected at unpredictable times. We were able to provoke this by running more than one pair at a time with servers on localhost; perhaps it was the greater memory pressure (64 KB blocks at a time) that exposed it. --- swfcat.as | 8 ++++++++ 1 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
