All have different flavours - I only recently found out that FreeBSD
actually
returns the memory to the kerenl for feallocation after calling
free(). I'm
more used to the traditional Unix way which has a process always
growing
and not returning the memory until it exists, merely reusing it if
freed.
That has always been the case for FreeBSD. From the looks of it, OSX
handles it the same way.
