I agree with your conclusion here. It isn't a good design to have platform specific properties like thread safety. Part of my goal was to avoid using KQueue/EPoll directly in the Event MPM, and to keep it using the APR Generic Functions. I think that I will just make an ap_ex_pollset_* set of functions to wrap EPoll/KQueue and include them directly in the Event MPM. -Paul Querna
