 New Revision: 245949
 URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/245949
 
 Log:
   Reduce watchdogd's memory footprint when running daemonized.
   
   This uses the recently-added jemalloc(3) feature of setting the lg_chunk
   tuning option to zero to request that memory be allocated in the smallest
   chunks possible.  Without this option, the default is to initally map 8MB,
   and then the mlockall() call wires that entire allocation even though the
   program only uses a few Kbytes of it at runtime.
