It's the fault of both, really.  The userspace program is attempting to do
an unaligned access.  say, loading an int from a non-word-aligned address.
Most CPUs can't handle this and take a fault.  We haven't yet implemented
a trap handler for that fault.

Or rather, tausq has implemented one, but hasn't activated it yet,
I believe.... tausq?
