The following simple C++ program dies with a 'bus error' on PA/HPUX:

struct WrongPadding {
    unsigned short one, two, three;
    /* unsigned short padding_dummy;  --> BUS ERROR w/o this padding member */
};

struct A {
public:
    void foo(int a, int b, struct WrongPadding bar) {}
};

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    A obj;
    struct WrongPadding bar;
    obj.foo(0, 0, bar); // --> Bus Error when calling this member function
    return 0;
}


----

To reproduce:
-------------

$ g++ -Wall buserror.cpp -o buserror
$ ./buserror
Bus error (core dumped)

----

I suspect a problem with alignment / struct padding when calling the member
function foo. As a work-around, I added an additional 'unsigned short' member to
the struct. The 64-bit port (target hppa64-hp-hpux11.00) of gcc-3.3.3 does not
have this problem. I wasn't able to reproduce something similar with C (instead
of C++).
