I assume it's a valid assumption among this group that everybody knows that SIGBUS on a Sparc usually means an unaligned access was attempted, right?
As Cliff pointed out, it is probably an unaligned access error. Here is the culprit line after the preprocessor has had its way: A = (ntohl(*(bpf_u_int32 *)&p[k])); (gdb) disassemble ntohl Dump of assembler code for function ntohl: 0x702ce540 <ntohl>: nop 0x702ce544 <ntohl+4>: retl 0x702ce548 <ntohl+8>: nop ntohl is a noop because we are on a big endian architecture. (gdb) print k $15 = 30 (gdb) print &p[k] $16 = (u_char *) 0x7267be "\n\aÆ\034\b" Can we just make a char* an int* and dereference it? Only if it is 4 byte aligned. -tduffy -- YOO-ESS-AYE!
