 That certainly looks like a panic. Â Do you get the same
 power of 2 alignment one every time? Â As you can see in the PR,
 I got at least 2 different panics. (seems odd) Â Mine didn't
 say anything about power of 2 alignment, unless the first one did.
 
 Does compiling the 8.x fwcontrol with a 7.x compiler avoid the
 panic for you?
