Hi Joseph, Just for giggles I did this patch which should fix the bus error you reported. I'm pretty much expecting that there are a dozen or two more of these bugs in the code on an 8 byte aligned system. Of course, maybe I'm wrong- wouldn't that be nice!
Anyways let me know if this fixes that problem. If you find others, please update ticket #364 (http://tcpreplay.synfin.net/trac/ticket/364) with their locations (file & line number like you gave me last time would be great)... if you know how to use gdb, it should be pretty straight forward. Honestly, fixing each alignment bug usually takes about 5 minutes, but reading the code, line by line, looking for these issues is a lot more time consuming. Basically, I'll try to fix any alignment bug you can find. Of course if you can get me a login onto your box, well that would be a huge help. Otherwise, left to my own devices to track down these bugs is going to take months and months.
