	Okay, this crops up every now and again. I've just added the
following to ORBit2/docs/FAQ:

---
** assertion failed: (ORBIT_ALIGNOF_CORBA_POINTER > 2) ?

        This error usually occurs when the compiler alignment
configure check fails to work correctly. Have a look at the
ORBIT_ALIGNOF defines in include/orbit/orbit-config.h. If these are
all zeros, then you need to look at config.log and figure out why
configure if coming up with these bogus values.

	If you manage to figure out why the configure check failed,
could you let me know - I'd like to beef up this question with known
problems and fixes .... and maybe actually fix the configure check too :-)

Good Luck,
Mark.
