Also tested clang 3.0-6ubuntu3 (bull), gcc 5.1.0 (OSX), the native OSX' 
compilers (although like Bull's clang they lack OpenMP). No problem 
seen. I'm done with this for now. Unless someone debunks my view of this 
I suggest we revert the alignment changes to md5cryptsse() and simply 
keep using mem_align() for declarations within OMP for loops in the 
future. For all we know from real-life, that will be Good Enough[tm].
