Build 14361: Memory leak / issue in phantomjs

[GordonSmith]

One of my untiTests seemed to get stuck in phantomJS. Task manager showed a consistent increase in memory usage:

I left it continue until it nearly hit 100% and killed it via ctrl+c in the bash shell:

Steps to reproduce:

(install nodejs 6.2.1)
mkdir ./someDir
cd ./someDir
git clone https://github.com/hpcc-systems/Visualization.git
cd Visualization
git checkout candidate-1.10.x
npm install -g gulp
npm install -g bower
npm install -g jshint
npm install
bower install
sudo apt-get install phantomjs
npm test

Restarting that step reproduced the issue - but at a different test:

gulp unitTestBuildNonAMD

@GordonSmith - Thanks for reporting this and the detailed analysis. I tried to repro this on 14361, but the "npm test" command is failing with the error below. Any idea why?

[GordonSmith]

Looks like your npm install failed?

[sunilmut]

Yes, thanks. Had to install it with the -g option and it seems to work now. Onto the repro now.
