SPARC is particular about operand alignment.  Getting it wrong causes
a bus error.  This could be caused by a compiler bug, or by ill
advised forms of hand coded memory access.  I've had the problem with
other applications.


Same here, and in some cases the problems are severe enough to take the 
entire machine down which suggests lingering kernel (probably 
framebuffer) bugs.

Same problem on Ultra10 and blade 100, not gnome but xfce. Both epihany and 
arora crash with BUS error - but URL dependent. 

No solution yet.

You should file this as a bug.  SPARC machines require proper alignment;
when this is violated, a bus error occurs.  Other architectures have
similar constraints.
