I see that you removed with without further discussion which is not the way we do things on NetBSD. Do you have an example where the epoll emulation breaks, because either forking matters or the implementation is incorrect/different? I would agree on principle that it is better to use kqueue on BSD systems, but if it is not broken, why not advertise it? Best, christos
