I have sent an email to upstream asking wy it is done like this. I suspect it is to optimize for speed, as there is no protocol involved, but am not sure. Does it still work on m68k if you remove the alignment attribute? Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
