Your problem (re: kse_exit()) is very likely unrelated to this. Did you read the errata notice in full, specifically Section III? ===== III. Impact After the fork(2) system returns, the newly created child process may freeze in user space for no apparent reason. This affects any threaded application that invokes fork(2), most frequently those that call fork(2) before execve(2) or system(3) to run external programs. ===== On the other hand, this erratum very likely explains the problems people are having with Nagios. > now.... you simply can't know what will happen on next update to > 'STABLE'.... and no bin packages (unlike debian). > If this continues, it won't take me long to migrate to debian, despite I > don't want to, but I want to have a nice deep sleep, no alarms in the > middle of the night.... There are most definitely binary packages for FreeBSD. I really don't know where you got the idea there weren't. And I do hope you enjoy Debian (I say that sincerely). Use whatever OS meets your needs/requirements; if it's not FreeBSD, then that's cool too.
