It's (at least partly) a packfile alignment thing. I think if you look in
the packfile.c sources you'll find some more comments about it. (Search
for problem spots marked with "XXX".) Also, if you look in the archives
back in Februrary 2002 or so, I think I posted something about the
"padding of FLOATVALs in CONSTANT section of bytecode".
This, of course, doesn't answer your question about when it's going to be
fixed :-).
