Ok. I've had a look in /var/log/kern.log on the linux/alpha
machine and, sure enough, there are stacks of messages like:
kern.log:1:Apr 3 09:31:22 acinus kernel: lyx(29156): unaligned trap at
000002000000e954: 0000020000a9e32c 29 1
In other words, this problem is occuring under Linux as
well as Digital Unix on Alpha machines.
