Hi all, I think I have found the cause of the problem.
Commit b46b8f19c9cd435ecac4d9d12b39d78c137ecd66 partially fixed alignment issues but does not ensure that all 64bit alignment requirements of sparc32 are met. Tests have shown that the redzone2 word can become misallignd.
I am currently working on a posible fix. Regards Mark Fortescue. On Tue, 3 Jul 2007, Michal Piotrowski wrote:
