I'm suspecting alignment problems more and more.  I'm still in the
process of getting Sparc-Solaris account somewhere.  In the meantime
I'm going to go through the code and make it more longword alignment
friendly.

BTW-  Could you tell me what the following little program does on a
SPARC machine?  Compile it with the same compiler flags that get used
with the DBD driver.


#include <stdio.h>

main(int argc, char **argv)
{
   char  buf[] = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
   void *ptr   = (char*)buf + atoi(argv[1]);
   long  i     = 0x30313233;
   
   *(long*)ptr = i;

   printf("%s\n", buf);
}

        

Run it four times, the first time with a argument of 0, second time
with an argument of 1, ...

Thanks.
