It's a code problem which no-one has bothered to fixed.

Just a note,

I used to run a 1000a on DU 4.0 up to 5.0 and had those as well. It had to
do with a library I was compiling against and usually didn't cause any
damage that I was aware of.

I believe the only problem is a performance loss in the code that
performs the unaligned access.
