Yikes:  Real64.real objects are not aligned mod 8.  This is bad.  It costs us
CPU time, and also makes lots of test relatively unreproducible  since  where
you end up mod 8 can make a big difference.

This  explained  some of the strange timings I was getting in testing mods to
the heapsort program.
