[Python-Dev] Unaligned accesses in coercions, current CSV

[Mark Favas]

On a Compaq Alpha (Tru64 Unix, 4.0F), the following code (from
test_descr.py) produces unaligned access warnings when run:

class L(long): pass
coerce(L(0), 0)
coerce(L(0), 0L)
coerce(0, L(0))
coerce(0L, L(0))

Unaligned access pid=5070 <python> va=0x1400c9266 pc=0x120031228
ra=0x120031218 inst=0xa6000000
Unaligned access pid=5070 <python> va=0x1400d9086 pc=0x120031228
ra=0x120031218 inst=0xa6000000
Unaligned access pid=5070 <python> va=0x1400c9266 pc=0x120031228
ra=0x120031218 inst=0xa6000000

ra=0x120031218 inst=0xa6000000

I'll try to chase this further, but work is a bit fraught at the
moment... If you want me to log it as a bug, let me know.
