Hello,
if I see correctly you are using an old GCC on a sparc. And Suhosin
crashs with a bus error.
Well that is no suprise. Older GCC on sparc for some reason optimizes a
memcpy() away into direct memory access. Of course this is illegal,
because this results in not aligned memory address.
Solution: Use a fixed compiler.
