	We've been knocking our heads against the wall for weeks on this
	one. It appears to have happened when some other port made some
	serious changes in ptrace... B^(.

	Is you solution a quicky hack or a good long term solution? I.e.
	is there some other way other than deactivating 32 bit alignment
	in m68k kernels? The amiga port had problems when the alignment checks
	we simply removed, i.e. lockups.

	Anyways, yes, other m68k ports are pulling their hair out over this.
