I have yet to even log into a DBSD system (my attempt to install the
6.0.1 ISO on bhyve failed for lack of a driver, or something), but I
do intend to get it working at some point. But I can offer a poorly
researched wildly speculative hypothesis: DBSD forked from FBSD in
2003. macOS 10.3 took FBSD's kqueue code in... 2003. So maybe a bug
was fixed later that they both inherited? Or perhaps that makes no
sense, I dunno. It'd be nice to try to write a repro and send them a
report, if we can.
