kern/146528: [zfs] Severe memory leak in ZFS on i386

[Peter Maloney]

I expected you would say it was much older, somewhere between April and
September last year. My amd64 systems (dual cpu quad core Xeon) with 48
GB of ram have no issues like this. And my amd64 test VMs with 512M-2GB
of RAM don't have this problem either, but of course they aren't tested
the same.
