Apparently, nfssrv_mkdir doesn't realize that a nfs_namei with nameiop of CREATE causes the underlying file system to imply a SAVENAME flag when the terminal compoenent is reached. Therefore a failed mkdir will result in a MALLOC of cn_pnbuf in nfs_namei() that is never freed. The failure mode is triggered for a mkdir of an existing dir by a client, leaving the path name buffer allocated on the server. I'm very glad I'm making these side effect semantics more explicit.
