BTW, thanks for the this information... that was indeed the problem.
I think the only disturbing thing was how difficult it was to find
this solution; though my "google skills" are only "adequate".
I had a pretty good idea what was going on, and even looked through
API documentation for something "init" related. Hopefully the next
person will get a hit on my email subject line.
I'm sure this has nothing to do with anybody on the list, but I
installed a macports package labeled as [EMAIL PROTECTED] but it
actually installed a library with a version name 1.3.9 and a header
file that did not include event_reinit(). In the end, I had to
install from source, which was fine of course.
Anyway, thanks for the info and the great library.

After you fork, you need to call event_reinit() in your child. Kqueue
does not survive across forks and that's the default notification
mechanism in Mac OS X.
