MontaVista noticed that when their kernels were configured to trap on unaligned access gethostbyname_r could mysteriously crash. I tracked this down to an unaligned buffer being passed to gethostbyname_r from some other part of uClibc (afraid I don't remember where from any more). We have to pad the beginning of the buffer to a pointer alignment before we store pointers in it.
