I've tried pdns on Solaris (SPARC, 32bit on a sun4m), and I found that
it generated a large number of SIGBUS errors due to unaligned accesses
(the SPARC being more restrictive than i386) I flagged up a number of
these, which were fixed, but I think some remain.

I haven't had time to look at this for a while, but the way to help
out would be to run the pdns binary by itself, rather than from the
guardian, and see what happens when you fire queries at it. If you are
killed with SIGBUS, that's most likely an unaligned access, and a gdb
backtrace should be enough to get it fixed.

Let me know if you need more information.

Chris.
