There is an incompatibility in OpenBSD's \"getprotobynamer\" and\n\"getservbynamer\" function in versions 3.7 and later that will cause a SEGV when called\nwithout doing a \"bzero\" on their return structs prior to calling these functions.  Current\nPerl's should handle this problem correctly.  Older threaded Perls (5.8.6 or earlier) will\nrun into this problem.  If you want to run a threaded Perl on OpenBSD 3.7 or higher, you will\nneed to upgrade to at least Perl 5.8.7.\n",
