Could be. I've also seen it on PPC_DARWIN a while ago. I only recall seeing it on sparc and ppc.
It doesn't always occur.
 
 
Here is the m3browser crash on a system that can be debugged.
See why I want the full paths in the debug info?
 

C:\Users\jay\Desktop>\cygwin\bin\ssh xobsd.
$ cd /cm3
$ cd bin
$ export DISPLAY=192.168.1.120:0.0
$ gdb ./m3browser
GNU gdb 6.3
This GDB was configured as "i386-unknown-openbsd4.5"...
(gdb) r
Starting program: /home/jay/cm3/bin/m3browser
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
