Description: Handle unaligned buffers in connect's TYPBLK class
 On MIPS platforms (and probably others) unaligned memory access results in a
 bus error. In the connect storage engine, block data for some data formats is
 stored packed in memory and the TYPBLK class is used to read values from it.
 Since TYPBLK does not have special handling for this packed memory, it can
 quite easily result in unaligned memory accesses.
 .
 The simple way to fix this is to perform all accesses to the main buffer
 through memcpy. With GCC and optimizations turned on, this call to memcpy is
 completely optimized away on architectures where unaligned accesses are ok
 (like x86).
