NAME
       README.openbsd - Perl version 5 on OpenBSD systems

DESCRIPTION
       This document describes various features of OpenBSD that will affect how Perl ver-
       sion 5 (hereafter just Perl) is compiled and/or runs.

       OpenBSD core dumps from getprotobyname_r and getservbyname_r with ithreads

       When Perl is configured to use ithreads, it will use re-entrant library calls in
       preference to non-re-entrant versions.  There is an incompatability in OpenBSD's
       "getprotobyname_r" and "getservbyname_r" function in versions 3.7 and later that
       will cause a SEGV when called without doing a "bzero" on their return structs prior
       to calling these functions.  Current Perl's should handle this problem correctly.
       Older threaded Perls (5.8.6 or earlier) will run into this problem.  If you want to
       run a threaded Perl on OpenBSD 3.7 or higher, you will need to upgrade to at least
       Perl 5.8.7.
