it probably does provide inode notifications, and even if not, that
wouldn't be a bug. at least I have no indication that file event
notifications don't work as documented.

kqueue is not the only minefield on os x - for example, they replaced gcc
by an antique and totally broken clang version, after being pressured to
release gcc sources as they would have to do by the license. this affected
and affects libev, EV and other projects a lot. The libc is beyond broken
w.r.t. to multibyte functions, even in security-relevant ways (overflows when
parsing partial multibyte characters) etc. etc.
poll has also been mentioned, which has been broken in 10.6 or 10.7 or so.
If you are interested in this topic, use google, not this list. apple did
enough damage already, the problems are widely documented, and any minute
I waste more on this causes mroe damage.
