[comp.unix.ultrix] xmh gets unaligned access on DS5000 & DS3100.

Hi folks--
This may have been discussed before, so please bear with me.  When I
try forwarding a letter in xmh, I get the following message at which
point xmh dumps core with a "bus error":

pid XXXXX (xmh) was killed on unaligned access, at pc xxxxxx

When dbx'ing the file, I find out this happens when the X library
tries to malloc memory that's unaligned.  Has anyone experienced
this, or has a solution to this problem?  Please E-mail responses.
Thanks,

edward.
