It  is the reference to the last message I sent, 2 or 3 messgaes before this
the memory fault was caused by 'unaligned access';
what is it?

Risc machines (and some cisc machines, e.g. 68k but not 68008) will typically
only allow accesses to data on 'natural' word boundaries. For example 16-bit
words can only be accessed on even addresses, 32-bit words can only be accessed
on addresses divisible by 4, etc. An unaligned access occurs if an attempt is
made to violate this rule, e.g. access a 16-bit word from an odd address.
