    BUG#9826  Server crash on schema change ("drop table", "alter table") with NDB
    
    See note on 10948 for detailed explanation.
    
    struct a { void* a; long long b[1]; };
    
    on PPC32 (and 32bit pa risc): 16
    on x86: 12
    
    so a malloc(sizeof(void*)+extra_bits) is wrong.
    
    Assuming that the long long is 64 bit aligned as non-aligned 64bit accesses
    are rather expensive on ppc.
    
    Thanks to paulus for doing the PPC port of valgrind.
    Without which I would no doubt still be trying to find this.
