I've personally had problems with OpenBSD panics with softupdates when running under ESXi when the back-end storage becomes high-latency (aggressive SAN backups, not enough spindles). I haven't tried recently (it was difficult to repro on demand) but I didn't really consider it an OpenBSD issue. Presumably softupdate has shorter timeouts.
