Err, yes. LaMont is your first name, and Jones your surname ?

Well, the bytecode interpreter and garbage collector does its own memory stuff, and i don't think it does special assembly stuff. But now i am confused, you told us earlier on that it had to be 16 byte (or 128 bit) aligned, is this no more the case ? > > Maybe it is possible that he has an account already.
