Or actually maybe I should fix it properly now. This breaks if pointers
are 64bit but off_t is 32bit, and CPU doesn't want to do unaligned
memory accesses..

Index files should probably have separate alignment behaviour since it
can't contain pointers. off_t is likely to be the only possible 64bit
value in it.
