Summary: pcre 8.34 has alignment bug on SPARC
Product: PCRE
Version: 8.33
Platform: Sun
OS/Version: Solaris
Status: NEW
Severity: bug
Priority: medium
Component: Code
AssignedTo: ph10@???
ReportedBy: iand@???
CC: pcre-dev@???
SPARC architecture won't let you fetch 32-bit objects unless
they are aligned to a 32-bit boundary. PCRE is violating this
and dumping core on SPARC.
Backing out to 8.32 works fine on SPARC.
Looks like 8.34 has new code that does some optimizations
by doing multibyte copies, but doesn't check for alignment first.
You can get away with this on many architectures like x86 but not SPARC.
Below is a backtrace from a core generated by 'make check'

BTW this bug reporting tool didn't have 8.34 as a known version so I filed
it under 8.33
