From my understand the major problem the flawed AOLserver on *BSD was the use of exec, which had a patch to fix it (and that patch is in the OpenACS AOLserver distribution).

I did development work on Uptime for quite a while on OpenBSD, using the exec patch, without a problem.

Has anybody used OpenACS and NetBSD recently with or without problems?

I have tried, it did (mostly) work, but performance was abysmal.

NetBSD has several add-on userland thread packages, I was only able to get aolserver to work with one of them.

I haven't yet had a chance to investigate the performance issues, but I will probably try the new NetBSD thread code and see how it looks.
