OpenBSD doesn't have a bug tracker, I posted to an internal mailing list.  The fix will be in OpenBSD 5.0, released in November.

I recommend not making any changes.  Now that the code works on OpenBSD, I don't see the point of adding an exception to support older versions.  OpenBSD users are strongly encouraged to upgrade every 6 months when a new version is released, so there won't be that many people running < 5.0 a year from now.

Let's decide the supported platforms.

== Background

http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/projects/ruby-19/wiki/SupportedPlatforms

== Process

If you want to support a platform, please declare.
But when a platform dependent bug is reported, it will be assigned to you.

== Current Maintainer

mswin32, mswin64 (Microsoft Windows):
  NAKAMURA Usaku (usa)
mingw32 (Minimalist GNU for Windows):
  Nobuyoshi Nakada (nobu)
IA-64 (Debian GNU/Linux):
  TAKANO Mitsuhiro (takano32)
Symbian OS:
  Alexander Zavorine (azov)
AIX:
  Yutaka Kanemoto (kanemoto)
FreeBSD:
  Akinori MUSHA (knu)
Solaris:
  Naohisa Goto

* cygwin (don't work)
* NetBSD (works)
* OpenBSD (it may not work)
* DragonFlyBSD (don't work)
