Unfortunately I don't have an alpha lying around, so i can't reproduce this :). Afaik an unaligned trap doesn't do any harm, it's just a performance hit. I can fix this for you, but i need you to pinpoint what exactly causes these traps. Which requires some debugging on your part. Sorry that i can't help more at this point..
