I have no idea. OBP = "on board PROM"?

I'll research this, but not right away.

Anecdotally, Linux is running well, been up for a few days, with the same sort
of scenarios I was attempting in OpenBSD, just  a bunch of
ssh/scp/cvs/gcc/ld.

Is it possible OpenBSD is sensitive to having the latest OBP and Linux is
not?
   Yes.

Is it possible for OpenBSD to lose this sensitivity and work as well as Linux,
in this regard?
  (Far be it for me to suggest that OpenBSD does not work better than Linux in
general. I do appreciate the OpenBSD attitude, like the web page with reasons
to build your own kernel, every single reason starts with the same
discouragement. :) )
In this case, Linux == Ubuntu 7.10.

Thanks,
 - Jay
