In shdocvw/tests/webbrowser.c, at the end of test_WebBrowser,
the call IUnknown_Release(unk) results in the following Valgrind error:

Seems like an important bug to fix, since it could conceivably
lead to heap corruption.  This is all our code, no gecko involved,
so we ought to be able to sort it, but it's beyond my ken.
