Miod is absolutely right. I was hit with the same problem on a old i386 machine. The solution was to increase the limits in /etc/login.conf When I use top -s3, g++ climbs above 512Mb, sometimes as close as 1GB for some compiles. Clang++ does the same, it regularly exceeds 512Mb. http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=128864822527650&w=2
