And, you can cause the system to signal the program with SIGBUS, if
you set machdep.unaligned_sigbus.

I _really_ would have preferred to make "kill on unaligned access" the
default, but the Alpha Architecture Reference Manual indicates that
programs can expect general-purpose OSes to do unaligned fixups.  In
my opinion, in a properly-ported program, they're a bug.
