FreeBSD is free to require a more > restricted behavior of free(3). I am not supporter of "our" concept for standard API. Having ours only restricted free() will make harder to write portable code because people tends relay on what works for them and not on standards. But in the light of upcoming new standard version which require the same, it is acceptable at least. BTW, the change backed out, PR for free() filled instead. -- http://ache.vniz.net/
