This probably helps:

service stats {
  fifo_listener stats-mail {
    mode = 0
  }
}

Since this fails only in OSX 10.5 (not 10.6), I don't know if I'll
bother adding any special code to work around it. In any case it means
that kevent() can't be used on a FIFO, and that means you can't use
v2.1's stats tracking feature. Or possibly you could try if it works
with configure --with-ioloop=poll or select instead of kqueue.
