Seems this is absolutely minimal hack I ended up with:

--------------------------------------------
Keep in mind I really have no clue what I am doing :D.
I am using FreeBSD bootloader capability to switch inits through config file
so original init stays in place when something goes wrong. Original init also
handles failures, parses bootloader defined variables and invocation parameters,
does single user mode and lot more, So this is really just dumb hack.

I see. Well I consulted many s6 examples how this is done on linux.
FreeBSD has it's own rc.d framework and I am still learning how it works.
Unfortunately some tasks need to be done before supervisor spins-up so I just
hacked them down with 'foreground' distilling actual "shell calls" to external
utils, so I get writable root and really basic tasks done. FreeBSD original
setup handles quite lot of stuff and technologies there.
I don't consider this to be really usable yet.
For now I am really just playing with this as side project.
At this experimental stage and after reading your suggestion, I decided my
current approach with "uncaught" log is sufficient for now. Thanks for
enlgihtement about fifo handling on posix.

I see so this is clang issue. Well I have yet to learn ktrace, so I am putting
this on hold until I get some time to study it. I hope I will get some chance to
get these dumps correctly later this week.
Thanks very much for help for now.
