The problem is caused by the following code (genops.c:575):
fp->_IO_write_base = fp->_IO_write_ptr = fp->_IO_write_end = 0;
Translated by the compiler into:
0xf7d57714 <+148>: clr [ %i0 + 0x18 ]
0xf7d57718 <+152>: clrx [ %i0 + 0x10 ]
In other words by a 32-bit access and a 64-bit access. The compiler is
allowed on sparc, as malloc is guaranteed to return 8-byte memory.
The thing I still don't understand here, is why fp = stdout = 0xf7e57114
is not aligned. fopen() is using malloc() internally, so the resulting
pointer should be aligned. Does iceweasel play with the alignment in a
bad way there?
