Thanks for that effort.

I think we should clean up the code to extract the unaligned header 
fields into the correctly typed temporary variables and use those 
variables in further protocol code.

The underlying thought is to keep the protocol code clean from solving 
the alignment issues.

I have applied your patch blindly to the current CVS tree, just to
make sure it gets developer attention as this is a long standing
important issue.

Leon.
