I further cleaned up the comm stuff. The reason why 0,1,2 gets into the
problem is that these are the descriptors that gdm uses to communicate to the
greeter (at least 0,1) Also since at various places we assume these are the
correct descriptors having them be something like some open file or the X
connection would be very very bad.
What I did today in CVS is changed it to not use the buffered libc IO. This
was not proper anyway. Can you try today's CVS? That is the changes up to:

* daemon/errorgui.c, daemon/misc.[ch], daemon/server.c,
daemon/slave.c: Clean up the comm stuff to only use unbuffered
libc functions. This might fix the freebsd issues perhaps,
maybe. Also fix some almost impossible to happen races.
