Unfortunately it was still outputting the same style of debugging information as before, and GDB still said it was "corrupted" (was it really?)
I'm taking a break from this, for now, getting a bit frustrated with it and I need to rest.
If anyone else wants to try it, here's a few notes about OpenBSD's X environment:
If you don't mind a garishly-looking desktop, deploying OpenBSD with a simple X server with Xterm for the purposes of debugging is pretty easy to do. If you need something a little bit more modern-looking though, there are metapackages available for Xfce, MATE, Cinnamon, KDE, and a few other familiar desktop environments.
As a note, though, OpenBSD's default X server starts in "retro" mode, so if you don't have something to change the wallpaper it's going to irritate your eyes very quickly. (Personally, I just use putty with VcXSrv and SSH in and get a desktop environment that way, it's a lot easier for me)
