Summary:                    traceroute causes an alignment trap due to unaligned
buffer on arm
Description: 
In various combinations of gcc and optimization options the static buffer
"char packet [512]" starts on odd adresses. In this case, accesses to port
number (16 bit) of struct udphdr are leading to unaligned accesses.

Attached patch changes packet to dynamically allocated buffer, which is
aligned by definition.
