This is a problem of the linker. When writing the code, I didn't realize that
alignment will usually only be necessary for the RUN address. So currently the
linker will align both addresses.

Unfortunately, I will leave tomorrow morning and be back some days after
christmas, so I won't be able to change the behaviour, or add new
align_run/align_load attributes until then. I will post to the list as soon as
a fix is available. Thanks for the feedback!

I will have mail access over christmas, but not as regularily as usual, so I
wish anyone on the list a merry christmas! I hope that your retro computing
wishes become true on christmas:-)
