Initially I had no success but on reflection I realized the example 
was too large to test.

I created a small structure

struct frame {
 unsigned char b;
 unsigned short w; // misaligned
 unsigned int d; // misaligned
} __attribute__ ((packed));

and worked with that.  The __attribute__ does solve my problem.  Now 
I need to rework the structures...

Thanks!
