After posting this, I saw I had gotten an email from 0day[1]. After
some investigation, I discovered that this 8 byte alignment works for
x86 64 bit fine, but only *sometimes* for 32 bit. 4 byte alignment
seems to work in all cases (so far). I am not sure why we went with
such a large alignment in hindsight. In any case, I should have a
fixed revision out pretty soon.
