Platform is a problem in that Bruce's FreeBSD/i686 machine does not show
the symptoms, but it's a pretty widespread problem beyond that afaik.
I'm running on Linux/i686. Tatsuo sees problems on Linux/PPC. Some Sparc
machines running Solaris and Linux apparently still show problems.

I'm guessing that it is a byte alignment difference in malloc behavior
between the systems which exposes misaligned structures on some
platforms. How's that for pure speculation, eh?
