MemSet() must not cast its pointer argument to int32* until after it has

checked that the pointer is actually word-aligned.  Casting a non-aligned
pointer to int32* is technically illegal per the C spec, and some recent
versions of gcc actually generate bad code for the memset() when given
such a pointer.  Per report from Andrew Morrow.
