Sorry for the delay. I am interested in getting this merged. I'm just swamped
with work and I need (more) help with c-ares.

In this version of the patch, won't we risk reading a 16bit word from an
un-aligned memory address? I can't see how 'aptr' is guranteed to be aligned
when you do *(uint16_t *) reads from it and that will crash on numerous
architectures. Or am I wrong?
