Yeah, it would have :) I was in a rush. Appologies.
Basically the important part is:
OpenBSD core dumps from getprotobyname_r and getservbyname_r with >ithreads When Perl is configured to use ithreads, it will use >re-entrant library calls in preference to non-re-entrant versions. >There is an incompatability in OpenBSD's getprotobyname_r and >getservbyname_r function in versions 3.7 and later that will cause a >SEGV when called without doing a bzero on their return structs prior to >calling these functions.

The impact of this is not that we have working ihreaded mp2 on OpenBSD, but if we did, it will require perl v 5.8.7 as a minimum.
Hope this is clearer.
