OK, this is a new to me.  Have been moving a variety of programs from an
Ultrix 2.3 environment on a VS2000 (using X11.3) to a DS3100 and Ultrix
3.0 (and a mix of DECWindows and X 11.3) and I am coming up with the
following error messages when certain programs (which compile and
otherwise run flawlessly):

"Fixed up unaligned data access for pid XXXXXXX (proc_name) at pc 0xNNNNNN"

These message come out on stderr at sporatic intervals when programs
such as dtree are run.  The program run fine otherwise.

Any suggestions as to what is going on, and what might be able to be
done to eliminate the problem, other than diverting stderr to /dev/null.

Thanks in advance.
