This is due to a bug in print.c and shows up on some 68000 machines
that do not force long alignments (68000's are generally happy with
2-byte alignments for long words, 68020's perform better with 4-byte
alignments but will work even with odd-byte address for longs).

The fix was posted by me just yesterday.  Send me e-mail if it doesn't
show up at your site soon.
