I just recompiled mozilla on 5.3-RC2 and this kqueue leakage has
stopped.  ldd shows the mozilla-bin binary is now linked with
libpthreads (it wasn't on 5.2.1-release). ktrace shows the open kqueue
descriptors being close()'d this time.

Let's now hope this fixes the weird hangs I have seen with 5.3-RC*.
