Created attachment 64152 [details, diff] Patch that seems to resolve the unaligned access This patch is based on Michal Jaegermann's patch at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10323
Does this still happens ? If it does, it might be wise to send that patch upstream. Please reopen if it still happens. Cheers, Ferdy
Reopen as Mike requested.
As discussed on IRC, this package is no longer being maintained upstream, so if it is going to still be marked as stable, we should consider applying this patch to eliminate a unaligned access.
@desktop-misc: Please apply the patch.
desktop-misc, please apply the patch attached to this bug.
Uhm... Is this still even remotely relevant?
desktop-misc - anyone alive out there? Plus see Bug 173522.
Patch applied in -r5.
