SIGBUS on SPARCv9

Hi there,

I run tinc with not ConnectTo, (and it can't tcp-connect to
the relevant other tincd, because that tincd is behind a
firewall --> that tincd usualy connects to my tincd).

If I start that tincd alone (not connected at all) and do a
ping some_other_ip, it gets a SIGBUS in route.c:207 in the
function route_ipv4_unreachable at the line:
        hdr->ip_v = 4;

This seems to be an alignment problem.

I've appended a quick fix for this, which at least makes
tinc not crash any more.
