#24 Bus error on SPARC platform

[Anonymous]

Class MemPager has a problem of memory access on SPARC
platform in methods alloc(size) and first(size).
Pointer access must be aligned on 4-bytes boundaries.
An improperly aligned address causes a bus error to occur.

Best regards.

I believe this has been resolved in current releases, where
x-byte aligned objects are now accounted for in mempager.
There are some defines that may need to be added for different
cpu architectures to assure correct alignment beyond ultra-sparc.
