	LBL_ALIGN does two things:
	- change definition in extract.h to use byte-by-byte fetch rather than
	  ntohs()
	- copy packet before examination in print-{atalk,ip,ip6}.c
	the latter one has serious bad effect.  i've attached a diff onto
	PR 18688 to only enable the former (tcpdump.org tree is also modified).
	if you could test with patch on PR 18688, that would be really helpful.
	(i will commit the same thing now)
