I figured out that this doesn't segfault on Linux. However a friend compiled ld with Electric Fence and then it segfaults even on Linux. The bug seems to be in ld. This is an example how the OpenBSD memory protection system makes finding bugs easier. Another example was in gschem schematic editor http://geda.seul.org. I got a segfault of gschem on OpenBSD every 5 minutes related to autosave. They said this bug was known, but very rare to happen and thus difficult to find, because they develop gschem on Linux.
