I think the PostgreSQL leaking in the first place would be independent of
Linux being ungraceful about it. So repeating it on BSD probably wouldn't
help us here. If you want to take up the 2nd issue with the kernel folks,
having some evidence from BSD might (but not very likely) be helpful for
that, but that would be for a different mailing list.
