Not yet. I have tried to find a small example, but haven't yet managed 
to reproduce the error. In the small examples, the we_offs variable 
always got reasonable values like 4096, and no "non-aligned pointer" 
message appeared. So there may be something else going on in genius, 
something that creates this weird value. Anyway, it is clear that there 
is a bug, because the value of that variable should not matter either 
way, at least if the documentation is correct. But as long as I don't 
know more, I don't want to file a bug. Maybe you understand it better?
