OK, why is it 8 byte aligned? Checking....

Argh! Somehow I dimly remember having been here already ...
I think I proposed to change the loop to 8 byte increments back then, but
noone knows what odd systems it will the stop working on (none at all is my
personal bet).

So I guess your patch is the best way forward.
