  Can I count on any sort of alignment from the mac memory manager?  Or do I
have to roll my own by allocating n-1 more bytes than I really need?
  Also, is there any guarentee on stack alignment?  I'm trying to build a
garbage collector for MacApp/C++ and it would be faster if I could rely on
alignment.
