After my va_copy() patch things are somewhat better, but unfortunately I still get crashes on my setup (although not as immediate as before which resulted in any sort of connection crashing the server). I can start streaming a song, but as soon as I switch to an other one the server dies (on both sqlite and sqlite3):

Note that there were a number of other issues while compiling on OpenBSD v4.1 (or more like pre-v4.1, as I grabbed the distro before the official version was released):
(1) Zeroconf/Bonjour daemons:
Bulit-in mDNS does not work. I am using howl instead (as noted in an other thread on this forum). Note: It seems like this is an issue with the Apple Bonjour code that does not seem to have been tested on openBSD (for one it does not compile due to an issue in the code the compilation of which is only attempted apparently on openBSD. But even once that code is fixed, I get “mDNSResponder: mDNSPlatformSendUDP got error 64 (Host is down) sending packet to 224.0.0.251 on interface 10.0.0.2/vr0/2” error messages. Also
apparently avahi does not work on openBSD either (could not even compile it).
(2) There are lots of warnings during the compilation (some because of apparently no headers included with function prototypes but mostly because of openBSD’s security conscious approach – e.g. using strlcpy() instead of strcpy()). There are also a few errors, like strcasestr() not being found during running the pre-compilation configuration script thus having a conflicting version trying to be compiled (in compat.[c|h]). I also had to adjust the include path to find howl.h (i.e. add -I/usr/local/include/howl to the right places in src/Makefile which still causes some PACKAGE/VERSION redefined warnings, but at least it proceeds).
(3) as far as the va_copy() – I have no idea what macro should be looked at to see whether a platform has it or not. In my case I just hardcoded a “#define HAVE_VA_COPY 1” macro so that the va_copy() from openBSD’s header files are used (which by looks to be defined as “#define va_copy(dest, src) ((dest) = (src)) on i386 platforms). However my original patch also seems to have worked.
