OK, then why is electric fence telling him to make DOUBLEALIGN match
INTALIGN?  You would think that if this change made sense, we would be
having some Linux problems, but we don't.

#if ! defined(sco)
#define DOUBLEALIGN(LEN)\
        (((long)(LEN) + (sizeof (double) - 1)) & ~(sizeof (double) -1))

#define MAXALIGN(LEN)\
        (((long)(LEN) + (sizeof (double) - 1)) & ~(sizeof (double) -1))
#else
#define DOUBLEALIGN(LEN) INTALIGN(LEN)
#define MAXALIGN(LEN)    INTALIGN(LEN)
#endif
