If you are one of those unlucky/foolhardy people running DragonFly with very little RAM, this maxvnodes change will help you out.
(DragonFly is not that RAM-hungry in normal circumstances, anyway; 1-2G is ‘safe’, last I knew.)

This week’s BSD Now talks about starts (NetBSD, DragonFly releases) and ends (preventing memory-based process kills, deleting boot environments).
James Cook continues to work on zalloc, and he’s published a small report on his progress.
Normally I’d throw this into the Lazy Reading section, but it’s happening Thursday and that would be too late: Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari (and Chuck E. Cheese) is doing a live Q&A Thursday in conjunction with ICHEG.
Tomorrow, for NYCBUG, Minimal Scripted Configuration from Eric Radman. Go, if you’re online.
