FreeBSD prior to 9.1 does not have a kqueue-pollable /dev/klog, so syslog-ng would fall back to using timers, except that follow-freq() is explicitly set to zero, also diabling timer-based polling. This has the effect of making syslog-ng not read from /dev/klog at all. To work around the issue, on FreeBSD prior to 9.1, use follow-freq(1) for /dev/klog when using the system() source.
