Just a quick correction if anyone else is reading this to solve this problem. You have to set it to 0, not 1. (It's 1 by default). sysctl -w machdep.unaligned_print=0 machdep.unaligned_print: 1 -> 0 This has fixed the problem with the unaligned access. (But my snmpd still dies at the same spot.. seems it was unrelated.. ohwell!) Thanks! Rob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stephen D.
