Description:There are "system" memory leakage due to different realization of (I think) threads in Linux and FreeBSD (or other OSes). In * there are numerous pthread_attr_init, pthread_mutexattr_init, pthread_create (and such funcs), but a little of pthread_attr_destroy, ... .
After 30k calls over chan_zap, * takes 2 times more RSS, than at start.
Under heave load, this cause to coredumps with backtrace like:
#2: pthread_cancel()
#1: pthread_mutex_init()
#0: ???
(I have wrote before, about pthread_attr_setstacksize() for *BSD, due to default stack of 64k, when in Linux it 2Mb - no native threads, clone() used for).

When is an attr object free to destroy on FreeBSD:  after a pthread_create, or only after the related thread has been joined or cancelled?

attr object may be freed after thread creation. same with mutexes too, but I think great scheme w'be to use single objects with global references to them (for example: pthread_mutexattr_t ast_pthread_mutexattr_default) and one-time init of one.

See if this patch fixes your memory leak.
