Some more testing indicates that the problem is most likely in close, =
not mmap. I modified the program to the following:
zool# more test.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
int rc, pid, fd;
char *cp;
char cmd[1024];
pid =3D getpid ();
sprintf (cmd, "procstat -v %d | grep df", pid);
fflush (stdout);
rc =3D system (cmd);
fflush (stdout);
printf ("----------------------------------\n");
fd =3D open ("./test.c", O_RDWR);
fflush (stdout);
rc =3D system (cmd);
fflush (stdout);
printf ("----------------------------------\n");
close (fd);
fflush (stdout);
rc =3D system (cmd);
fflush (stdout);
}
The output is:
zool# ./test

Open creates 2 memory allocations, one in low memory and one in high. =
Close does not remove them. Somewhere in the source I found a note that =
said that close on files didn=E2=80=99t require any action. However, =
those two memory allocations do need to get freed. =20
