#192 Fix 64 bit data type alignment issues causing segfaults

[Ben Thomas]

Some systems require data to be naturally aligned, else a segfault will be incurred. This patch fixes a common 64 bit datatype alignment issue which results in segfaults on Solaris/Sparc systems. The patch is generic (that is, not specific to Solaris nor Sparc). The patch applies against 1.0.7-i.
