Can someone please assist me with some strangeness on FreeBSD 8.0 and 8.1=
-RC2
using a threaded test code code, I see the that freebsd 8.x seems to be u=
sing more memory when using the syslog() call from a c program:
Results:

I have not been able to find any reasonable information via google.
Why does syslog result in more memory being consumed on 8.x as opposed to=
=207.2 ?
