Showing us some code would really help. It's hard to understand what you 
are doing from this brief description. Also, where does the SIGBUS occur? 
What pc, and what address?

What types are you passing as the first argument to typedmemmove? Where did 
you get them from?

This is a fine question for golang-dev, but don't expect a whole lot of 
help - reaching into the runtime to call typedmemmove is very unsupported.
