Math::PARI.pm test fails on Tru64 with "Unaligned access" errors.

["Scott Zak" <ZakS@sysoff.ctstateu.edu>]

I'm trying to install Math::Pari-2.010305, pari-2.1.4 with perl version
5.6.1on Compaq Tru64 Unix v4.0F as a prerequisite to some Crypt-* modules
(no gnuplot necessary here).  I am running into some problems with
voluminous "Unaligned access" errors when I run 'make test'.  Perl was
built locally from source using Tru64's cc.

Except for warnings from plotgnuplot.c  and an uninitialized "dummy"
variable in Pari.xs, 'make' runs clean.  The error messages look like this:

Unaligned access pid=29270 <perl> va=0x1404c6d04 pc=0x300000bc434
ra=0x300000bd734 inst=0xa4100000

I don't think that there is anything unusual about the perl installation --
mostly vanilla -- and it has a clean history to date.  No users have
reported problems with perl previously.  I haven't been able to pick out
the cause of the problem.

Can someone lend me a clue on how to get 'make test' working?  Perl
configuration, and output from Makefile.PL/make/make test follow below:

Thanks for your attention.
