This is with a version of rtl-sdr I got by git last night and OpenBSD 5.2 (current release).  5.2 has some pthreads fixing so I waited until I bought another computer and loaded it.  Are the crashes related to threads?  I don't know, but possibly.  It didn't work with OpenBSD 5.0 either.

rtl_fm crashes and uses threads                      
rtl_adsb crashes and uses threads                    
rtl_tcp doesn't crash, uses threads, actually stops on ctrl-c
rtl_test doesn't crash, doesn't use threads, won't stop
rtl_eeprom doesn't crash, doesn't use threads, ends normally


I'm not real practiced using gdb but I tried looking at a couple of core files, here's a run of  rtl_fm:

rtl_fm -f 162550000 -N - | play -t raw -r 24k -e signed-integer -b 16 -c 1

The backtrace (bt) shows that it dies trying to do a mutex_unlock (I think).  rtl_tcp also does a mutex_unlock and it doesn't crash.  I'm probably reading it wrong for all I know.  I don't know what's causing the signal 6 either.

I'd also like to get the -lrt of of the cmake files.  OpenBSD doesn't use or have lrt, it works without.  I can edit it out and compile, but every time I run cmake again, I have to edit the files again.
