fix a flaw found while experimenting with structure alignment and padding; low-fence checking would not work properly on 64-bit platforms, because the compiler was putting 4 bytes of padding between the fence field and the allocation memory block

added a very obvious runtime warning if this condition reoccurs, so the developer who broke it can be chastised into fixing it :-)
