There is a simple patch (requiring a few lines of code) available for the kqueue problem. I run 1.21 on 5.4 (and for 6 or so months on 5.3) and have no problems after modyfying the code for the kqueue problem. I have found it to be incredibly stable (Xmail has never gone down that I can recall with this configuration).
