Libevent error 'Bad File Descriptor'

[Brad Fitzpatrick]

In fixing this, I also noticed we're making the server socket at the wrong
time, after dropping root.  We want to be able to bind to low ports while
we still have root, then drop root, then daemonize, then setup libevent,
right?

Avva, can you commit a patch to rearrange all that?
