I'd noticed the unaligned accesses on my alpha with 1.0.0.  Also, both
the entry and text widgets dump core immdiately when you type a key
in them.  Digital Unix 4.0B, gcc 2.7.2.1.  I was going to throw a couple
hours at this tomorrow, tracking down all the unaligned accesses, but
if anyone else is already in the midst of this, please drop me a line.
