https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D215752 --- Comment #3 from Maxim Konovalov <maxim@FreeBSD.org> --- Hello, This is not specific to FreeBSD. Upon process termination, both voluntary = or involuntary, the whole address space including the heap of the process is destroyed. So, it is quite common for simple utilities like echo(1) with s= hort life cycle to rely on this. I think pretty much any book of unix programmi= ng covers that. My personal recommendation is Steven's "Advanced programming = in the UNIX environment" aka APUE. I'm going to close this ticket unless you have any concerns.
