I don't know of any large memory leaks at all. I think a big problem is
the lack of shared libraries atm. If you consider that every binary has a
chunk of libc linked into it, it becomes easier to see where the memory goes.
There could always be memory leaks but I would not expect many in
userland binaries as I am sure they would have been spotted by other
NetBSD users on different platforms.
