OK.  I've talked to the folks that actually build our production code, 
and it turns out that we're still compiling Cyrus as a 32-bit app (don't 
ask me why, nobody has an answer).

Before I commit your patch, would you be willing to see if the attached 
alternate patch works?

This patch tries to force the entire buffer to be aligned, rather than 
aligning each 64-bit field individually.  Don't know if this will work 
or not.
