I have experienced the same thing, and since I couldn't find any solution to the problem I simply uninstalled it. I found a couple of people on Google that had the same problem but nothing more. I know a couple of packages that recommended famd becuase it is a more efficient way to listen for file changes than polling the files over and over again. But as far as I know it should work fine without famd too.
