I think the issue came down to the fact that with kFreeBSD, /dev is a
devfs, which cannot handle FIFOs, only block and character nodes and
symlinks.  I don't even know if that's still the case; my only kFreeBSD
machine was moved back to Linux due to some problems with the earlier
versions of kFreeBSD, like bind9 not working.
