that's the trap to signal an alignment fault, though, right?  (so i'd
guess from the NetBSD/sparc code...)

How does it communicate that to user-land, and/or let user-land
disable unaligned fault handling?  (i used a few 'apropos' cmds
on a solaris box i have access to, and got nothing that seemed
right...)
