OK, makes sense.

Seems like the problem was that FreeBSD/sparc64 defaults to using
libc_r, the old userland pthread library, rather than the kernel
thread library libkthr.  Once I recompiled avahi with libkthr the
above hang went away.

Now I get a bunch of "sendmsg() failed: Invalid argument" messages but
that is probably the fault of some of the code I changed.  I will try
to get it debugged at some point.

Thanks for the response,
