Hi,

I've found two bugs:

1)


+#if 1
+       knlist_init_mtx(&f_tx->selinfo.si_note, f_rx->priv_mtx);
+#endif

Should be:

+#if 1
+       knlist_init_mtx(&f_tx->selinfo.si_note, f_tx->priv_mtx);
+#endif


2)

Event filters need to lock the FIFO's mutex.

BTW: I'm working on getting the code into -HEAD. I'll run some test 
before it goes in.
