+Summary: [SPARC] Throws NRE on unaligned members in structures (e.g. Pack=2)
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+A structure used for metafile headers has a misaligned integer in it.
+
+[StructLayout (LayoutKind.Sequential, Pack=2)]
+internal struct WmfMetaHeader {
+	public short file_type;
+	public short header_size;
+	public short version;
+	// this is unaligned and fails on the SPARC architecture
+	public int file_size;
+	public short num_of_objects;
+	public int max_record_size;
+	public short num_of_params;
+}
+
+Using them throw NRE.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Declare structure 
+2. Assign value to file_size
+
+Actual Results:
+NRE on SPARC arch.
+
+Expected Results:
+No NRE (like other archs)
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always
+
+Additional Information:
+- I can work around this, either permanently or temporarily, in C#;
