At present the sandbox RAM buffer is not aligned to any particular address boundary. This makes the internal pointers somewhat random with respect to the associated RAM buffer addresses.
Align the buffer to the page size of the machine to help with this.
Please describe in the patch description that you pad the cookie that os_malloc writes to a page boundary. It's pretty hard to grasp that from the current patch description :)
