> Maybe write_long should handle unaligned addresses?Possibly. But something is wrong. Unaligned accesses should be done with unaligned-l@ ( addr -- quad ) instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] So either the pointer was calculated wrong or Solaris does not care about alignment in l@ If you change it, please make the change specific to sparc.
I noticed that the memory allocators either don't enforce alignment or align just to 4. That could be one reason for the problem.
