This may be related to a well known bug in libraries of OpenBSD, as mentioned in
manula page of pthreads:
BBUUGGSS
     The library contains a scheduler that uses the process virtual interval
     timer to pre-empt running threads.  This means that using setitimer(2) to
     alter the process virtual timer will have undefined effects. The
     SIGVTALRM will never be delivered to threads in a process.

     Some pthread functions fail to work correctly when linked using the --gg
     option to cc(1) or gcc(1). The problems do not occur when linked using
     the --ggggddbb option.

[hacker formerly known as [e-mail]]

OpenBSD does not like loading the shared component libraries, which is the
default configuration.  You must build using --disable-shared --enable-static. 
See bug 124958.
