Yes. OpenBSD needs to --disable-ipv6 :(

Support is being worked on and tested in 3.HEAD. The results are
progressing slowly, but not usable enough to be brought into 3.1 yet.

We have got past that V6ONLY issue, and some DNS ones. Now the main TCP
links are simply hanging :(

I have high hopes that that will be the final blocker bug for IPv6
support in OpenBSD.
