Thanks Ivan, glad that Blosc also works with non-Intel platforms like PowerPC :-) Other Mac OSX users (Intel, Snow-Leopard) have not complaint about this, so I guess this is a problem that affects mostly quite old OSX versions. But you are right, OSX ensures that calls to malloc are 16-byte aligned, and that's enough for enabling SIMD optimizations. Your patch has been applied.
