	Havn't hit that problem yet I suppose - in a nutshell :-) I imagine we
can trivially use 2 byte offsets on those platforms; system memory will
need to be at least 4 byte aligned on those platforms.

	So far it hasn't been a problem.

	Have you actually seen that ? if so, we need an autoconf check for such
architectures and a little magic in the smart allocator.

	Regards,
