It occurs to me, you might be trying to use kqueue like select(),
in that you are giving an input queue to every invocation of
kevent(), in the same way that select needs descriptor map
arguments for every invocation.  If that's the case, you don't
need to do this.  You only need to set read events for a
descriptor once.  kevent() will keep returning read events while
the descriptor is open and readable.
