As discussed in
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl6.internals/29984
a parrot configured with Configure.pl --optimize dumps
core with a bus alignment error on second line in the following simple
program
set N0, 42.0
set N1, N0
print N1
print "\n"
end
on SPARC. On SPARC, doubles should be aligned on 8-bit boundaries.
The speculation is that the _num_val part of the UnionVal in the PMC
ends up unaligned. However, I couldn't follow where that happened, so I
can't suggest a patch.
