Subject:   C newbie needs help with kqueue
Message-ID:  <2042320000.995728574@sprig.tougas.net>

Hello,

I am writing a simple program to try to learn a little bit about kqueue, 
but I seem to be having a problem with the file descriptor I am passing. It 
is probably a simple thing, but since I am quite green, the problem is not 
obvious to me. Perhaps someone could help me out.

When I run this program, I get:

Cannot create kevent: Bad file descriptor

Thanks for your help.
