SIGBUS using DBUS library on ARM

Thiago,

The problem doesn't appear with optimization disabled.

About arm, I just heard that a short must be accessed through a 
2-aligned address, an int through a 4-aligned and so on. Individual 
bytes can be accessed at any address.
In our case, we are reading a short on a 2-aligned address and this 
should work. So I guess the optimiser tried to put an integer read in 
place...
I can post disassembled code if someone know how to read!

Frederic.
