[Bug 507416] Re: CONFIG_NEON=y causes platform lockups with certain application/platform combinations

[Dave Martin]

Hi there,

Try the attached modification.  It looks like I forgot to force the
correct data alignment in the test program.

Something must have changed in libc in the meantime, altering the link
map slightly and pushing the data off by a word.  In this case, an
alignment fault is the correct thing to happen, and we wouldn't expect
the kernel to fix it up.

Looks like I just got lucky first time around ;)

Cheers
—Dave
