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.

Cheers,
