351 For the VAX we assert that samples will never fall in the first two
352 bytes of any routine, since that is the entry mask, thus we call
353 scale_and_align_entries() to adjust the entry points if the entry
354 mask falls in one bin but the code for the routine doesn't start
355 until the next bin. In conjunction with the alignment of routine
356 addresses, this should allow us to have only one sample for every
357 four bytes of text space and never have any overlap (the two end
358 cases, above). */
