      Fix to one of the memory alignment issues in Bug#36745 falcon crash on solaris
            
      The problem was a memory alignment issue in SymbolManager.cpp that caused 
      a crash when running in 64 bit mode on Solaris on SPARC. Fixed this 
      by ensuring the symbol objects are allocated at 8 byte boundaries
      when compiling for 64 bit systems.
modified:
  storage/falcon/SymbolManager.cpp

per-file comments:
  storage/falcon/SymbolManager.cpp
    Allocate symbol object with 4 or 8 byte allignement depending on the build being for
32 bit or 64 bit architectures.
