I'm merely trying to shame you into submitting better bug reports. The
kernel spews out various messages that can look like dire errors, but
are actually quite normal. I'm not saying this is the case here, I
don't know alpha well enough to comment. On some arches, unaligned
accesses are just really slow, so the kernel warns you when they're
going on, but completely non-fatal or detrimental. 

Please keep the bug address CCed in the future.

Sorry, I was asking if you *could* recompile it with -O and see if
that changes anything, sometimes the gcc optimization is too
aggressive.
