I think the docs say 64 actually (but I've not tried it).  Clearly
either is fine.

I had an idea the stack is kept longword aligned.  If you think that's
not the case then please post a program / compiler info / etc

Yes, see "reporting bugs" in the manual.  We ask for all that info so
as to have something definite to fix or refute (as the case may be).

We have a netbsd 68040 among our test systems.
