+Subject: awk fix
+
+The patch below fixes the unaligned accesses.  This is a genuine bug,
+so it's better to fix it asap (not that unaligned accesses are not
+worth fixing...).
+
+The problem is as follows: re_syntax_options is a bss symbol in libc
+that is 4 bytes long.  GNU awk comes with its own regex.{h,c} files
+and there, that variable is declared as an `unsigned long' common
+symbol.  The runtimes linker then resolves that symbol to the instance
+in the shared library.  So gawk accesses that variable as a "long"
+while in reality it's just 4 bytes long.
+
+Actually, the linker warns about this.  Probably good to keep an eye
+open for these:
+
+ld: Warning: size of symbol `re_syntax_options' changed from 8 to 4 in /lib/libc.so.6
