Hi,
the ATM stuff in /sys/dev/h{e,f}a and /sys/netatm seems to be seriously
broken in current. A simple 'atm show config' command leads to a kernel
panic. I have tracked down the problem (and had to learn, that bzero is a
function pointer rather than a function on i386).

I would like to thank everyone who has answered my recent question
about memory allocation via mmap. I received many message via private

One of them sent me to an online sample chapter of one of Stevens' book

Hello,
I'm encountering a problem with the stardard libc malloc/free library.
if a program allocates a huge (and temporary) amount of memory with
small structures then free it, the library gives back only a few pages
to the system.
From the /usr/src/lib/libc/stdlib/malloc.c sources, it seems

From the /usr/src/lib/libc/stdlib/malloc.c sources, it seems that this
is due to not shrinking/relocating pagedir pages (free_pages(), comment
around line 940). This means that returning pages stop at first
allocated pagedir.
That is

OK. In fact my problem was just a printf that allocated a buffer via
__smakebuf at the very last moment (when all memory was allocated).
This prevent free() to give back all previous pages up to this one. The
problem was _not_ in malloc.c.

sudo definitely helps if it's carefully administered, but it still
grants root access to a file, which may not really be what you want.
