pid 90886 (moc): unaligned access: va=0x16012d484 pc=0x16009eaf4
ra=0x16009ec60 op=ldq

Look at the VA and opcode. It's loading a quadword on a longword boundary.
Linux is quiet about such traps.

See sys/alpha/alpha/machdep.c for alpha_unaligned_print which you can set to
nonzero to quiesce this- Umm, it's:

farrago.feral.com > sysctl -a |grep unali
machdep.unaligned_print: 1
machdep.unaligned_fix: 1
machdep.unaligned_sigbus: 0
