Thanks for pointing out the obvious.   I've read that manpage several
times and somehow missed the word "particular".   It's unfortunate
that it can't monitor more than one type of memory allocation because
the new pts code has either uncovered a latent bug in devfs or the
pts patch is stomping on memory.
