Crash in IE7 page containing Fusion Charts v3 2D bar charts after multiple page refreshes

While testing a web page using multiple FusionCharts v3 2D Bar charts and Line Charts (no animation) we noticed that in IE 7 (with flash player 9 plugin installed) IE randomly crashes after multiple page refreshes. Attached is a zip file containing the IE crash dump file.

We found this was an issue in our javascript where we calling the Render method on Chart Objects multiple times over a page life cycle. This was producing memory leaks in the page which resulted in IE crashing. This was fixed by changing our javascript to call the Render method once and then call the SetDataXML method once we needed to refresh the chart display.
