I found this thread: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/comp.unix.bsd.openbsd.misc/y-qciyc6wNY in which Marc Espie says that pthreads on OpenBSD 4.2 is a purely userspace thread library. Since the backtrace you posted included multiple threads, I'm guessing those are kernel threads, which means pthread_setspecific() can't work on them. If this diagnosis is right, then pixman currently can't support threads on OpenBSD 4.2. Support could potentially be added, but it would have to be done (and maintained) by someone who understands threads on OpenBSD.
