But the res_send() interface does specify that buffer is an 'unsigned char',
so I think the problem is in fact send_vc() (any any other code that consume
the buffer) where the cast is in fact undefined.  I am not sure why it has
not show any issue on architecture that trap on unaligned access, may guess
is the stack buffer alignment is the same as the HEADER.

The issue is resolv code seems to abuse this...
