Got "unaligned access" messages executing some programs

[Alberto Brosich <abrosich@ogs.trieste.it>]

Hi,

I installed debian sarge ia64 on a HP i2000 workstation.
It works all fine but executing some programs I find many 
"unaligned access" messages on console.

First It was with oracle but then I got the same with
"dosfsck"
"bconsole" (from bacula-console package)

and others.

What does it means?
How can I do some debug?

Thanks in advance
