Hello Pavel,

Thanks for your input. The sysctl variable was already set to 1
$> sysctl machdep.unaligned_fix
machdep.unaligned_fix = 1

But I've set this. Sysctl wrote:

$> sysctl -w machdep.unaligned_fix=1
machdep.unaligned_fix: 1 -> 1

The error in kaffe persisted. Maybe there is something useful in the .work.log 
or anywhere else, produced by the compiler. I've build kaffee from source.
