Argh.  Why do hw people always think software can fix anything?  So out
of interest - do you get a bus fault or what?  Maybe we can fixup such
non-aligned accesses outside of the serial driver?

I'm really reluctant to topple over an infratstructure working on _many_
differenty hardware architectures and platforms only for one special
case which may be considered to be buggy hardware...

Cheers

pretty long, with new ones being dreamed up all the time. Fortunately,
space limitations prevent us from looking at all of them.
