Your problem (re: kse_exit()) is very likely unrelated to this.  Did you
read the errata notice in full, specifically Section III?


=====
III. Impact

After the fork(2) system returns, the newly created child process may
freeze in user space for no apparent reason.  This affects any threaded
application that invokes fork(2), most frequently those that call
fork(2) before execve(2) or system(3) to run external programs.

On the other hand, this erratum very likely explains the problems people
are having with Nagios.

There are most definitely binary packages for FreeBSD.  I really don't
know where you got the idea there weren't.

And I do hope you enjoy Debian (I say that sincerely).  Use whatever OS
meets your needs/requirements; if it's not FreeBSD, then that's cool
too.  Blind advocacy is rarely good...
