 Modified Files:
 	src/sys/netinet: tcp_sack.c
 
 Log Message:
 Fix alignment problems causing regular panics in tpc_sack_option on
 NetBSD/alpha and NetBSD/sparc. This fixes PR#34751.
 
 The problem most likely started to show in gcc4 and is caused by the use of
 a casting to an uint32_t pointer that is later copied from using memcpy.
 Gcc detects the copying of 4 bytes from an uint32_t pointer and decides to
 just replace it with an aligned copy causing the trap.
 
 Fix provided by Izumi Tsutsui and ok'd by Martin.
