I think I may have experienced the same problem as you on my ThinkPad R40 and ThinkPad X24.
When you say your system hangs, does your screen go blank except for a blinking cursor in the top-left corner? I run into this all the time when the BIOS is set to put the computer to "sleep" when the lid is closed and I'm running X (or KDE or Gnome or whatever on X)
My extensive searching the web leads me to believe it's a driver issue. I come to this conclusion because I have seen many, many reports of identical symptoms on various Linux boards where the solution has been to update nvidia or ati drivers and the problem disappears.
Unfortunately, I am not a skilled enough coder, nor do I have the time, to learn the inner workings of X and OpenBSD display drivers to properly diagnose and solve the problem. :(
My solution has been to disable the setting in the BIOS that puts the computer sleep when I close the lid.
