It only has trouble when either of the structs doesn't satisfy the
memory alignment requirements. I /think/ this is mostly an issue
dealing with packed on-disk metadata arrays (like btree blocks). Every
now and then I get bug reports from the sparc people about kernel oopses
that happen on sparc and not x64, and they usually turn out to be memory
access problems.
(AFAICT it's not a problem copying from one stack struct to another as
you do in these patches, but something I have to keep an eye on...)
