[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#977021: bus errors on armhf running on a 64bit kernel

[Pierre Gruet]

Control: forwarded -1 brinn at ethz.ch


Dear Bernd,

In Debian we have received a bug report you may find below: there seems 
to be an unaligned memory access in (seemingly) the JNI part of sis-base 
version 18.09, leading to a failure on the architecture armhf running on 
a 64bit kernel.

Have you already met this issue and do you see how it might be fixed?

Thanks a lot,
Pierre Gruet
