Hmmm... is this crash reproducible on your box? If so, you might want to
use ktrace. It will give you gobs of data, but is likely to also tell
you exactly what syscall was interrupted, which is likely to give you a
hint.
You'll want to either snip very carefully or host the file someplace; if
neither is possible, you can send it to me via private mail, but keeping
it on the list is more likely to yield sensible results.

If it's memory, it's likely to be found by memtest86, if your hardware
is i386. It can be had from various sources, and is included on the
Knoppix CD, which I can recommend - it's not OpenBSD, but occasionally
very useful.
