I added this to OpenBSD in 2004 and it's since propagated to FreeBSD in 2009, NetBSD in 2019, and now DragonFly.

It was my first kernel/C contribution and I had no idea what I was doing but Theo was very supportive and helped me figure it out.

Ok false alarm, I don't think it's related to that FreeBSD corruption issue. I filed a new issue for my crash and rolled back to mariadb-{server,client} 10.5.9 packages for now:

There's a warning on
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-1064-release-notes/ (thanks @jimh_@twitter.com) about file corruption on FreeBSD (
https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-26537) which might be the same issue. I'll have to debug after my hair is no longer on fire.

Just a heads up for anyone else having MariaDB crashes on OpenBSD 7.0.

I upgraded an OpenBSD server from 6.9 to 7.0 the other day which updated MariaDB server from 10.5.9 to 10.6.4 and mariadbd started crashing this evening with an InnoDB assertion failure on a specific query (reproducible) even after a clean re-import of the entire database. \
