Cool, so you have a chance to try memguard(9) and verify my patch to
manual page:)

--- memguard.9  30 Dec 2005 12:28:19 -0000	1.2

 Where memory_type is a short description of memory type to monitor.
+The short description of memory type is the second argument to
+.Xr MALLOC_DECLARE 9 ,
+so one has to find it in the kernel source.
