Did the developer point to something specific, or just say that this
problem isn't being seen on other OS?

Looking at the packaging bits, it appears the sslsplit program changes
uid after starting. This means that if it's coredumping, you can
easily capture the core files by following the example at the bottom
of the sysctl(1) manpage, doing something like the following as root:
mkdir /var/crash/sslsplit
chmod 700 /var/crash/sslsplit
sysctl kern.nosuidcoredump=3
I suggest you *first* compile it yourself, with debugging information.
You'll need to unpack the ports source for the version of OpenBSD
you're running, then
cd /usr/ports/security/sslsplit
make CFLAGS=-ggdb reinstall
Then do the mkdir/chmod/sysctl steps above so that any core files are
left in /var/crash/sslsplit/, then run it and see if the restarts are
leaving behind core files there. If they are, then include the gdb
backtrace in your report here.
