Hmm. The "memcpy" at that line is intended specifically to get around
any possible misaligned-pointer problem. I have a nasty feeling that
Compaq's compiler is misoptimizing the memcpy into a
load-and-store-double kind of instruction sequence. Can you pull out
the generated assembly code for that routine so we can look?

It could indeed be an overoptimization issue. We could certainly reduce
the -O4 in template/osf (is that the one your system uses?) if that
helps.
