Full_Name: Dan Morrill Version: 1.1.0 OS: Red Hat Linux 5.2 for Alpha URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/ Submission from: (NULL) (192.35.44.14) Parts of OpenLDAP are not "64 bit clean," in that on the Alpha they generate unaligned memory access traps such as: Dec 17 08:52:48 dt09q1nd7 kernel: slapd(14160): unaligned trap at 0000000120016780: 000003ffffdffc4c 2d 9 This is a very common problem with Linux/Alpha (and Digital Unix) installations. These traps do NOT affect utility (all actions will be correctly completed), but they can significantly affect performance, as the kernel has an auto-alignment mechanism that will correct the problem, but at run-time cost. I am attempting to debug this issue, but my experience with this type of thing is slim to none, so I have no idea how long it will take me or even if I can do it. I am mentioning it here in case someone with more skills cares to tackle it. Note that there may be similar issues on other 64-bit platforms such as newer SPARCs; I don't know for sure.

Impact minor. Pending investigation by Linux/Alpha developers. no takers
