kqueue on OSX is causing the mach kernel to panic for some reason with the
simple MPM [1]. The cherokee author has verified the problem with kqueue,
and libevent has recently disabled kqueue on OSX in favor of
select. The patch that is included disables kqueue on all flavors of OSX
0-9 against /trunk; however, the patch should be applied to the next 1.3.x
branch also.
