Recent changes to FreeBSD kernels or libc? I would not be sure it is a
memory leak without corroborating evidence (bind growing to max ram,
etc). I have seen systems that will say "Cant allocate event" but it
turns out that there is plenty of RAM but the kernel hit a bad memory
bit or some other kernel problem and failed to allow for a malloc.
