This patch was incorporated into the openjdk6 port soon after it was
posted.  However, I can still reproduce the problem.  Using
-Djava.nio.channels.spi.SelectorProvider=sun.nio.ch.KqueueSelectorProvider
makes no difference.

I can't reproduce the problem with the current openjdk7 port.  I haven't
tried out Zookeeper though, so YMMV.  I would say it's definitely worth
a try though.

I don't believe anyone is currently working on a fix for the openjdk6 port
for this.
