Have you tried using strace on the two programs, to see and compare
the actual invocations?
Variations of strace -e kqueue,kevent,file,network might help
selecting relevant data (-e syscall1,syscall2,...,syscallN shows only
those syscalls; file and network are syscall categories).

If you are not on Linux but on other *BSDes (and it seems you must be,
since Linux has other syscalls), you might still use strace or
equivalents:
