RE: unaligned traps
Thank you very much for answering!
Of curse I would prefer that the code is corrected
and the warnings do not need to appear, but it would
although be wonderful to get rid of this disturbing
warnings! I would be pleased, if you can send me
such a patch!
Best regards,
Christoph Bayer
