Note that the size is 15 vs 16 which would affect boundary alignment a bit.  Without seeing the actual Alpha assembly code, I can't tell what the system is doing here, but it really looks like a natural boundary issue.

Yeah, what he said.  That's the first thing that came to mind when I 
counted to 15 and thought "odd number".

And regardless of optimize switches, it would be a compiler bug.  Not 
suppose to do that.
