There isn't much authoritative information available, but this appears legitimate - please be careful if you're updating any of your machines with code from ftp.openbsd.org, and we'll update this story with more links as information is available.

These are for a recent -STABLE (i think any version from 4.4 should work; the only 3 files modified are kern_synch.c, kern_switch.c and proc.h, plus a one-line change to kern_exit.c). I have tested it a little bit on a diskless system, and it seems to survive running a full X session with the usual set of xterm, netscape etc. while i do a "renice" of the processes and even switch back and forth between schedulers. But do not trust this yet for a production system!' Read the full post here."
