By the way, for anyone running ISIS V1.3 on a MIPS machine, the
same alignment patch is needed in pr_task.c, too:

    stackp = &ctp->task_stack[STACKLEN-(2 words)];
    stackp = (char*)((int)stackp & ~0x7); <--- WAS 0x3!

This would affect protos, but not any of the applications or
utility programs.
