Ok, didn't know it (fixed once a sigbus in code that had all non-double fields properly aligned, didn't expect it to have other reasons for not crashing elsewhere). This doesn't change the two facts that allocating memory with eight byte alignment isn't difficult to do and that there are other problems in libwebkit which probably need fixing in userspace.
