Since my company produced the Alpha I can tell you what actually happens
... the unaligned access is trapped, causes execution of trap code that
will look at the instruction that failed, create a set of instructions
on the fly that will do the same thing, and use them instead. ;-)

Using the uac command, the user can change this to a fatal exception.
This is usually done in coverage testing to find things that deserve
being realigned for speed reasons.
