Where are the contents of the structure coming from?  If they're coming from the raw packet data - i.e., if the pointer 
in question is pointing into the raw packet data from the tvbuff handed to the SCTP dissector - then not only might the 
data not be aligned on a 4-byte boundary, it might not even contain all the data you're looking at if the packet was 
cut short by a snapshot length.
