Yeah, and now you've broken it.  PDP-11 longs need be aligned
only on a word boundary, not on a longword boundary.

On a PDP-11, sure.

Submit a software trouble report.  If you have subscribed to
the appropriate level of software support, you should have a
folder that contains forms and instructions.

There is (or was) a command "trenter" that would guide you through
the steps of filling out a trouble report then e-mail it somewhere.
