Hm, what about O_CLOEXEC?

Hm, AFAIR you have analog of daemon(3), so in this case parent is gone
and child process doing all the job, then why do you call
event_base_free() just after event_reinit(), what did I miss?

But anyway you cannot call event_base_free() from the loop, but if you
call _exit() just after event_base_free(), than who cares?
