Thanks, there's at least two problems in cmogstored here:

1) The assertion could trigger on any OS due to the lack of retry
   on EINTR.

2) ppoll is non-POSIX, and is a cancellation point in GNU libc,
   but perhaps not the FreeBSD libc based on your bug report.
   We'll switch to pselect which POSIX as a cancellation point.

   I suggest FreeBSD developers make ppoll a thread cancellation
   point for GNU/Linux compatibility.

So two patches coming in reply to this email...
