"It is still not clear to me what problem it is you are experiencing other
than the free memory counter getting smaller as a result of the system
using unused RAM."

The problem is that this memory may be required in the future to another
application, and it is not released.

I followed the recommendations in this link.

http://dtrace.org/blogs/wesolows/2013/12/28/anonymous-tracing-on-smartos/

ie:
1) Mount the boot flash
4) Create the directories on a flash drive for files
2) to make there a local copy of the file /etc/system
3) Add the following line in the file /boot/grub/menu.lst

title SmartOS (OVVERRIDE)
   kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/amd64/unix -B
console=${os_console},${os_console}-mode="115200,8,n,1,-",root_shadow='$5$2HOHRnK3$NvLlm.1KQBbB0WjoP7xcIwGnllhzp2HnT.mDO7DpxYA',smartos=true
   module /platform/i86pc/amd64/boot_archive

   module /override/etc/system type=file name=etc/system - this line i add

When the system boots getting an error:

"bad ascii hex character"


Specially cleaned file of all unnecessary leaving only.
