Description

Context: Modify HelloWorld Cordova app for WP8 by adding a native page as the start page. Then give it a button to navigate to the Cordova page, MainPage.xaml

Launch application to opening page (native).
Click button to go to Cordova page.
Click hardware back button to go to opening page.
Repeat 4 times.

When inspecting the memory profile, you see a steady increase in memory, and 5 copies of MainPage which have not been garbage collected (even if you force garbage collection).

If this is done enough times the app crashes due to surpassing memory limit.
