This pointed to a non-aligned access, which my patch below corrects.
I've verified 3.6.4 does not show these symptoms, 3.6.5 and 3.6.6 do,
with the patch below the bug goes away on my system.

This pointed to a non-aligned access, which my patch below corrects.
I've verified 3.6.4 does not show these symptoms, 3.6.5 and 3.6.6 do,
with the patch below the bug goes away on my system.
