Got the binary from him, and sure enough, it prints 4 on Windows 98 as
well.

After doing some experimentation, I found that if I link the program
with libc.a from djdev203.zip that is on ftp.delorie.com, I get
unaligned addresses as well.  My usual libc.a is the one from the
original djdev203.zip, the one built on Jan 4 2000, with a few patches
applied manually over the years, but none of the W2K-related ones.

Can someone see if they can reproduce this problem with the latest
libc.a we have on ftp.delorie.com?  (Note that I only used libc.a from
there, but not the headers or the stub or the linker script.)

TIA
