+Cc: Jeremy Evans, who is more familiar with OpenBSD and Ruby 3.0 than I
cf. https://yhbt.net/unicorn-public/6acb1c84c7392d7b4a64572b20498549@pasosdeJesus.org/

vtamara: did previous versions of Ruby, unicorn, or OpenBSD work
for your app?

Is preload_app in use?  If so, does the problem manifest without
preload_app?

Are you using Ractor or any other new/experimental stuff
in Ruby?

Can you reproduce the problem with a simple "hello world"-style app?

That's a strange one, I wonder if OpenBSD getenv(3) has some
restrictions or other odd behaviors with it?

Do you have any code/dependencies which are calling "ENV#[]=" in
Ruby; setenv()/putenv() in C, or modifying "environ" directly
in C?

Especially in sub-threads/Ractors at startup...

Any other .so extensions?  C extensions can do any number of
things and maybe some interact badly...
