Hi,

tmux has a memory leak somewhere and it was causing a lot of swap memory to be used. I started using truss(1) to see what it was doing and after 3-4 tracing attempts the tmux process was stuck in status "stopevent". After sending to it all sorts of signals (CONT, HUP, KILL) the process is kept stopped in the same situation. I also tried disabling tracing with ktrace(1) but it didn't help. 

Eventually I tried to reboot the virtual machine but it got stuck for around 10 minutes without actually being able to shutdown. Last step was dropping to DDB and producing a dump. Dump is available on leaf on demand. See below the backtrace of the thread involved (tmux process)

Best regards,
Antonio Huete
