! In what sense it 'costs' ?

Well that amount memory gets occupied. Forever, that is, until
poweroff/reset.

Oh, I didn't care. Originally on ZFS. When I tried to reproduce it,
most likely on an NFS-4 share, as I didn't bother to put it anywhere
special.

! I want to reproduce it locally.

Yes that's great! Lets see which info You are lacking.
Here we are now on my desktop box (mostly same machine, same
configuration, i5-3570, 11.4-p3, amd64).

I explicitely removed all the files that do not get installed
when /etc/src.conf contains the "WITHOUT_LIB32=", but I have the
COMPAT_FREEBSD32 still in the kernel.

Now I fetch such an old R9.3/i386 binary from my backups, and
drop it into some NFS filesystem:
(That binary is only 4kB, I just attach it here, if you wanna try
you can straightaway use that one - in normal operation it just
converts some words stdin to stdout).

admin@disp:510:1/ext/Repos$ dir usr2sys

As we see, this machine has 8 Gig installed and currently about no swap
used. Now watch what happens:
epos$ ./usr2sys 
ELF interpreter /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 not found, error 8
Abort trap

admin@disp:519:1/ext/Repos$ for i in `seq 1000`

Swap: 20G Total, 36M Used, 20G Free

The free memory has already disappeared!

admin@disp:521:1/ext/Repos$ for i in `seq 5000`; do ./usr2sys ; done
...

admin@disp:522:1/ext/Repos$ top | cat
Mem: 2154M Active, 78M Inact, 787M Laundry, 4722M Wired, 774M Buf, 89M Free

Swap: 20G Total, 358M Used, 20G Free, 1% Inuse

Now the swapspace starts filling.
Lets see if the placement filesystem makes any difference and go onto UFS:

admin@disp:525:1/ext/Repos$ su -
Password:
root@disp:~ # cp /ext/Repos/usr2sys /var
root@disp:~ # dir /var/usr2sys 
-rwxr-xr-x  1 bin  bin  4316 Sep 22 23:55 /var/usr2sys
root@disp:~ # mount | grep /var
/dev/ada0p5 on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates)

admin@disp:527:1/var$ ./usr2sys 
ELF interpreter /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 not found, error 8
Abort trap

admin@disp:521:1/ext/Repos$ for i in `seq 5000`; do ./usr2sys ; done
ELF interpreter /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 not found, error 8
Abort trap
...

Ahh, that runs a LOT faster now than on the NFS!

admin@disp:529:1/var$ top | cat
Mem: 1546M Active, 67M Inact, 934M Laundry, 5121M Wired, 774M Buf, 161M Free
ARC: 1646M Total, 1159M MFU, 107M MRU, 2686K Anon, 37M Header, 340M Other
     849M Compressed, 2257M Uncompressed, 2.66:1 Ratio
Swap: 20G Total, 1658M Used, 18G Free, 8% Inuse

But memory leakage is similar to worse.

admin@disp:530:1/var$ df tmp
Filesystem    1K-blocks   Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
zdesk/var/tmp  24747504 231052 24516452     1%    /var/tmp
admin@disp:531:1/var$ cp usr2sys tmp
admin@disp:532:1/var$ cd tmp
admin@disp:533:1/var/tmp$ ./usr2sys 
ELF interpreter /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 not found, error 8
Abort trap
admin@disp:534:1/var/tmp$ for i in `seq 5000`; do ./usr2sys ; done
...

You can see this is now a ZFS, and the behaviour is basically the same:

Mem: 1497M Active, 5292K Inact, 803M Laundry, 5313M Wired, 774M Buf, 212M Free
ARC: 1432M Total, 963M MFU, 105M MRU, 2511K Anon, 21M Header, 341M Other
     650M Compressed, 1482M Uncompressed, 2.28:1 Ratio
Swap: 20G Total, 2791M Used, 17G Free, 13% Inuse

Now we have 3 gig eaten up, so we loose approx. 1 gig per 5000
aborted invocations.

And these do not go get freed anymore. One could continue this now, and
probably at some point the system will crash (and probably, beforehand
it will do some OOM killing), but I don't want to try that out now,
I'll just reboot now.

regards,
PMc
