Step 1: upgrade to a 6.2-current snapshot. Nothing is being looked at
or thought about in the 6.0 world. 6.3 is coming soonish. That's the
only place a fix will happen, if it is an OpenBSD problem. It will not
be fixed in 6.2 or 6.1, and certainly not something as old as 6.0.

Step 2: give your hardware a good workout. Building the system from
source might be a good way. What you describe could just be marginal hw
or a power glitch or a bad disk which fails during the 1:30am daily
self-checks, and got lucky once when you also happened to turn off the
no-ip app. This really does sound more like a hw issue than an OS or
application issue.

Step 3: contact the port maintainer. Maybe they are aware of something.
Do not do this before steps 1 and 2 are complete, however.

After that, file a proper bug report.

Nick.
