[Serusers] Ver 0.8.14 on OpenBSD/sparc segfaults

[msg]

Greetings:

With some tweaks (no pthreads, missing includes, reordering includes, 
etc) I was able to build Ver 0.8.14 on OpenBSD/sparc 3.2, gcc 2.95.3.
When attempting to run the executable for the first few times, I got
the unresolved symbol messages other OpenBSD users have posted to this
list while 'ser' is loading modules; however this behavior vanished
spontaneously and now ser simply segfaults and dumps core after about
five seconds (Sun sparc IPX host).

OpenBSD 3.2 doesn't have 'pthreads' but instead has a similar 'pth'
package; 'ser' was built using SysV semaphores instead.

`ser -V`:

version:  0.8.14 (sparc/openbsd)
flags: STATS:Off, USE_IPV6, USE_TCP, DISABLE_NAGLE, DNS_IP_HACK, 
SHM_MEM, SHM_MM AP, PKG_MALLOC, F_MALLOC MAX_RECV_BUFFER_SIZE 262144, 
MAX_LISTEN 16, MAX_URI_SIZE 1024, BUF_SIZE 65535

main.c compiled on 13:32:17 Nov 17 2004 with gcc 2.95


'ser -c' also segfaults but first reports:

  0(26788) WARNING: could not read from /dev/random (5)
  0(26788) ERROR: shm_mem_init: could not initialize lock

Anyone care to help?
