To reproduce reliable, I just create a new buffer, enter a few lines
in it and move around with the arrow keys; on the first forward
movement, emacs SEGV in command_loop_1.

If I undo the following change, it doesn't happen:

	* alloc.c (pure_alloc): Correct alignment for Lisp_Floats.
	Reported by Berthold Gunreben <b.gunreben@web.de>.

That fix looks rather obscure (it aligns the size and adjusts the
pointer, rather than aligning the pointer and adjusting the size).  

I have rewritten the code in pure_alloc to properly align the pointer
and simplified the code overall.

It seems to work now, but watch out for problems...
