--- Comment #2 from ignat at gmx dot net --- (In reply to Jakub Jelinek from comment #1) > User error. The standard allocators don't guarantee sufficient alignment > for the vector types. OMG, I see. Thx for clarifying. So this means that C++ is incapable of keeping track of the alignment requirements for its types for dynamic allocation and I so far merely got lucky with SSE as malloc happens to return 16-byte aligned pointers on 64-bit Linux. :-( Now that I know what to look for, I see ad-hoc fixes for this design flaw, ehm, "feature" all over the place. Oh well, yet another stupid incantation to get things to work ... thx ignatius
