The numbers above are simply the page queue totals and don't indicate 
whether the memory is 'free' or not. FreeBSD tries to use any available memory 
for file caching. If the system needs it for something else (e.g. process 
memory), then the system will reclaim some pages for that. There currently 
isn't a way to tell the difference between process memory pages and file 
cache pages, since internally they are basically the same thing. 
The bottom line is that there isn't a bug here and this PR should be 
closed.
