I'm not sure it's such a good idea to use uprintf() here.  The event
handler can be called in non-process context.

(i % 10) is not a predicate.  The test should be if (i % 10 =3D=3D 0).

If you want to work on FreeBSD, I recommend you get used to the
FreeBSD coding style; see 'man 9 style'.

You filled up a buffer somewhere...
