Is there any doubt that this might be a problem with Linux? Because if

have reason to suspect Linux to do wrong here, I prefer skipping that
futile attempt
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.
