[PATCH] (was: Laptop doesn't free memory so old dmesg can be seen)

[Aurélien Nephtali]

Hi,

After informations given by Brook Davis (thanks to him :p) I investigate in
/sys/kern/subr_prf.c . I just add a bzero() but it fixes the *problem*.

I think it doesn't break anything but every comments are welcome.

Can the attached patch be commited ?
