Odd address errors are hardware detected errors. Some, but not all, CPU's
require integer and floating point operands to be "naturally alligned", ie.
16-bit integers must start on even memory addresses, 32-bit integers must
start on a memory address which is evenly divisible by 4, etc. 

The error message you are getting indicates that the routine which trapped
the error tried to access an integer or floating point number that was not
properly aligned.
