    Hi everyone,
    ICU (http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/) libraries when compiled with stock RH
    6.2 kernel and GCC used to produce unaligned traps in some of the tools. I
    upgraded to RH 7.2 (stock kernel and GCC) and now I am not seeing any
    unaligned trap messages.
    I read Rich Payne's mails in the archives and they suggest that the problems
    are in users code not in the kernel.
    So there are two possibilities, since my code has not changed:
    a) The kernel has become more lenient and is not producing any unaligned
    trap messages.
    b) GCC had a bug which produced unaligned data which has hence been fixed.

    Which of the above is true, or is there a better explanation to the above
    symptom.

    Thank you very much for your answer.

    Regards,

    Ram
