Just an update:
The PR for this problem is still open and we believe this DOES need fixing.

However, our problems (after the accept() problem) had to do with our
use of "readdir()" instead of "getdirentries()". We got that fixed and
now we have Typhoon and Breeze WORKING on 3.0!!
Talk about a good test of the FreeBSD threads library. :-)
