Hi!

I looked it up and it makes the code really ugly as you have to put a #pragma 
pack(1) in front of each structure and a #pragma pack(0) behind it to revert 
the effect. As this is all surrounded by a #if defined(__SUN_PRO_CC) it 
doesn't really get nicer. DECXX has this __unaligned hack to disable the pack 
for a single call, but I couldn't find something like this for SunCC.

But I'm trying if it helps the crash and then I'm going to commit.

Greetings, Stephan
