ok, on the pretense of steering this thread back to topic, I could use some advice on the following problems I've been seeing with 3.2-RELEASE: there appears to be some sort of memory leak that I can't track down to a specific process (I have 256MB on this box): Mem: 87M Active, 129M Inact, 25M Wired, 6332K Cache, 8343K Buf, 4196K Free Swap: 517M Total, 517M Free After a reboot, this will have well over 100MB free, and gradually eat all but a few MB of it, but rarely (if ever) touch swap. I've done top, ps amx, and I don't see anything particularly huge. I also tried a virgin ps (just in case I'd been hacked), and seen no difference. *Part* of the problem appears to be that interactive shell processes don't die if I do a CTL-C, CTL-D or CTL-Z. they stop and remain in memory until I either kill the process, or the shell. I dunno if this is normal FBSD behavior, just that it doesn't happen in Solaris or Linux.
