Yes - it was a typo. But no program should segfault even on incorrect input. Such a behaviour indicates a bug in the program, often a buffer overflow. But as we already know, it's a bug in ld, and recently someone said that he tried a later version of ld and the bug is not there (or at least doesn't manifest in this situation), so all OpenBSD needs is to upgrade the ld to fix this bug (and possibly introduce others, considering the prevailing new-features-are-more-important-than-bugfixes trend in free software).
