Can you type 'disassemble' in GDB and paste the output? Seeing illegal
instruction error without knowing which instruction causes the error isn't very
useful because the backtrace isn't related to the file monitor.

I don't claim that GLib port shipped with FreeBSD doesn't have problems. In
fact, I know it has problems and I modified hundreds of lines of GLib code in
the kqueue file monitor backend during the 2.58 cycle. This includes fixes for
crashes caused by race conditions in order to let GLib pass all tests on
FreeBSD and run tests regularly on the upstream CI. It will be nice if you can
test the latest version of GLib (currently 2.60) instead of the outdated
version included in FreeBSD ports to know whether upstream GLib still has
problems.
