Hi Henry,

It looks like a patch may have been produced, but I do not know how to test
it. I'm not sure if I can pull down just a small part of the
OpenBSD source, or if the entire OS should be built. (Although I'd love to
learn how to do this)
Yup, there was a patch. It's been in the -current snapshots for a while
now (thanks dlg@), so you can just pull the latest ISO or whatever from
snapshots/ and install that to test. Probably not a bad idea, as I'm
not 100% sure my problem was the same as yours.
I tested the patch by installing a fresh system from the then-current
snapshot (without the patch), downloading src.tar.gz and sys.tar.gz from
6.4, untarring under /usr/src & /usr/src/sys, using CVS to update that
source to -current, applying the patch and then building the kernel
('bsd'). (There may be better ways, but that's how I did it.)
Then, copy the resulting 'bsd' file to / (keep a copy of the existing
one!) and reboot. Simple enough...
It was just a kernel patch so I didn't bother rebuilding the entire
userland, although that's advisable if you're planning on more extensive
testing.
Have a look at https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html for some hints and
feel free to ping me if you get stuck.
