Unaligned accesses are not memory violations, they are just that:
unaligned accesses. They are warnings that indicate that things might
go a lot slower than normal since unaligned accesses need to be
emulated in the kernel. If you wanted to, you could turn off the
warning messages without any ill effects. A better solution would be
to track down what's causing the unaligned accesses and fix them. On
my system, I don't see any unaligned accesses except for the ones
generated by X11.
