Package: traceroute
Version: 1.4a12-20


Running traceroute on alpha generates a large number of unaligned access messages (appearing in the kernel log).

For example, I run:

~(0)$ traceroute www.cam.ac.uk
traceroute to www.cam.ac.uk (131.111.8.46), 30 hops max, 52 byte packets
1  router.trin.cam.ac.uk (131.111.212.62)  21.723 ms  20.831 ms  1.559 ms
2  route-north-3.cam.ac.uk (193.60.94.126)  1.527 ms  1.065 ms  1.490 ms
3  route-cent-3.cam.ac.uk (131.111.2.126)  1.487 ms  1.112 ms  1.166 ms
4  scorpius.csx.cam.ac.uk (131.111.8.35)  1.879 ms  1.238 ms  1.487 ms

And I get the following messages:

traceroute(1832): unaligned trap at 0000000120001a10: 000000012001d92c 2d 1
traceroute(1832): unaligned trap at 0000000120001a14: 000000012001d924 2d 2
traceroute(1832): unaligned trap at 0000000120001a10: 000000012001d92c 2d 1
traceroute(1832): unaligned trap at 0000000120001a14: 000000012001d924 2d 2

This fills up the kernel log rather quickly if you run quite a few traces, though it does not appear to affect functionality at all.

The kernel is 2.6.15.4, but I don't think this should be at all related (though I haven't tried any others). The machine is a Digital 433au (so processor is EV56).
