To my knowledge, there is no option to fix up unaligned accesses in the kernel like there is on Alpha and ARM, so they're always fatal. I'm pretty sure that Oracle would have noticed if MySQL died frequently on SPARC. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
