When one of the functions that create "scoped" Lisp objects aborts,
the first thing to look at is the addresses of the stack variables:
if they are not 8-byte aligned, that's the reason.  For example:

> #1  0x01173d6b in die (msg=0x14bb004 "XTYPE (a) == type && XUNTAG (a, type) 
> == ptr", file=0x14baf34 "lisp.h", line=926) at alloc.c:7111

See the address of 'msg'?  It's clearly aligned on a 4-byte boundary.
