I have changed my mind after thinking about it a bit. There have been _so_ many bugfixes in OCaml since 3.12 that it's probably unsafe to ship a 3.12 runtime with a modern release of OpenBSD. I'd vote for disabling the port (in the hope of a 4.08.0 future port) rather than regressing to an OCaml 3.12.1 build with those potential unsafe bugs baked into a statically linked binary. Anil
