From the trenches of s2k15:
There was a recent bug in OpenBSD install kernels. At random times during the install, messages like the following would appear:
This is pretty unusual. sleep and cat are not usually memory intensive. Clearly, something had changed. There were a few initial suspects but they had been pretty well tested.

Read the whole thing to find out the answer!
