Memory leak in clean method

[anonymous]

In the clean method (manipulation.js), when the following code is executed, the div will leak in IE8:

while ( depth-- ) {
    div = div.lastChild;
}

We need to first remember the original div and then remove it at the end.

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery project!

Is there any way that you can show evidence of this memory leak?
