I have a small idea.

We changed in the absolute initial FreeBSD patch made by Laura from KDE, pselect a bit, because FreeBSD had no sigmask parameter. (compare man pselect on Linux and FreeBSD)

It might be that this change is the one biting us now, because if I see / remember this correctly its exactly this pselect that is in that infinite polling loop.

It might be that you need to call sigprocmask or another call before, but it all seemed to be some "magic" in the past. Anyway, this is the only thing I can think of right now ...
