  *boggle* malloc(3) should *always* return a naturally aligned
block. smail doesn't happen to ship with it's own memory allocator,
does it? Alternatively, could it be allocating a larger chunk of
memory and then splitting it up inside the program into multiple
structures? If you can't get it to work any other way, try using
memalign(3).
