Bug#734290: kfreebsd-amd64: monitor test hangs in _kqueue_thread_func()

[Robert Millan]

Package: glib2.0
Version: 2.38.2-1
Severity: important
User: debian-bsd at lists.debian.org
Usertags: kfreebsd

monitor test hangs when running the testsuite on kfreebsd-amd64 (using glibc 2.18).

AFAICT this bug is not the same as #712848, so filing separately.

Note that kevent() is called repeatedly. I.e. the thread that invokes _kqueue_thread_func()
calls kevent() in a loop and expects to be terminated by someone else.

gdb backtrace:
