See PR for details. Surely, *one* problem is with mmap(), and I appreciate your looking into it. But from my experience (acrobat reader grows like crazy on freebsd, stays very bounded on linux) I suspect that once you've fixed the mmap() bug, acroread will start dying on freebsd while it keeps running on linux. But maybe the best strategy is to wait until mmap() is fixed, and then see what happens to acroread afterwards. Fix one problem before you tackle the next, etc. - Harald To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
