It just occurred to me that perhaps it is a hardware problem? I just remembered that I moved the machine over a few feet and the 3ft ethernet cable I was using was too short so I switched to a longer cable. This wouldn't explain the Mac OS X problems (since it had the problem with the 3ft cable), but I can't remember if I saw the problem with OpenBSD before I swapped cables.
