From: Mark Kettenis <[email protected]> A char array on the stack is not guaranteed to have more than byte alignment. This means that casting it to a 'struct cmsghdr' and accessing its members may result in unaligned access. This will generate SIGBUS on strict alignment architectures like OpenBSD/sparc64. The solution is to use a union to force proper alignment.
