+.SH NAME
+perlopenbsd \- Perl version 5 on OpenBSD systems
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+This document describes various features of OpenBSD that will affect how Perl
+version 5 (hereafter just Perl) is compiled and/or runs.
+.SS "OpenBSD core dumps from getprotobyname_r and getservbyname_r with ithreads"
+.IX Subsection "OpenBSD core dumps from getprotobyname_r and getservbyname_r with ithreads"
+When Perl is configured to use ithreads, it will use re-entrant library calls
+in preference to non-re-entrant versions. There is an incompatibility in
+OpenBSD's \f(CW\*(C`getprotobyname_r\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`getservbyname_r\*(C'\fR function in versions 3.7
+and later that will cause a SEGV when called without doing a \f(CW\*(C`bzero\*(C'\fR on
+their return structs prior to calling these functions. Current Perl's
+should handle this problem correctly. Older threaded Perls (5.8.6 or earlier)
+will run into this problem. If you want to run a threaded Perl on OpenBSD
+3.7 or higher, you will need to upgrade to at least Perl 5.8.7.
