Well, I quoted the source in my 2nd post in this thread.
But I will repeat it once again:
"I'm quite sure that the memory manager of OSX wasn't derived from BSD, but
from Mach. Actually, FreeBSD has adapted that memory manager, so it's rather
the other way around...."

If so, both OS X and FreeBSD share the same MM subsys base.
