The proper way to do this on OSX is by using /sbin/launchd -d.

This is a known issue.  It appears to be a bug with poll() / select()  
on OSX.  See the following bug report for details:

That is not the case.  MeetMe uses DAHDI as the conference mixing  
engine, not simply as a timing source. In Asterisk 1.6.2 (and  
currently in trunk), we will have the ConfBridge application, which  
uses the new bridging API to provide conferencing functionality.
