Description Steve Block 2009-11-20 09:27:40 PST 
Code in StringHash::equal accesses memory as 32-bit values assuming 4-byte alignment.
This is unsafe on some platforms, eg ARM.

Note that this problem is equivalent to that fixed in AtomicString with http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/19930

This was recently fixed.
