This is just a shot in the dark and not a really likely one, but I have had

firefox and restarting it.
In our case, we can log in from the console, kill every single
user-mode process on the system except the init, login, and the
console shell, and the memory is not recovered.  Gigabytes and
gigabytes user memory of it are being held by some un-findable
anonymous persistent structure not linked to any process.  Konstantin
proposed that it was some sort of shared memory usage, but there
appears to be no way to check or investigate most types of shared
memory usage on FreeBSD.

Does vmstat -m or vmstat -z shed any light?
