Is KQueue still broken on Darwin?

| I have a program that gets in an uninterruptible wait for
hours and days. I'm using sockets and kqueue. I have never
had problems with sockets before, but kqueue used to crash
the kernel. Does anyone know if kqueue still borks the machine?
kill -KILL doesn't work. of course, but a killall -KILL kills
a related program to which it has a socket connection, but
leaves the program as a zombie which launchd does not reap
or restart.

Never heard about it crashing the kernel before, but kqueue received a
substantial overhaul in Tiger. Spotlight uses it to index updated files,
Finder to update its display immediately, etc.
