AFAIK, an odd number of bytes inserted in the .text section, such as 
adding a PROGMEM string above, shouldn't cause that error.

And, your line of code above looks good to me (assuming that the email 
client wrapped the line) and it builds fine for me on a mega128 with 
WinAVR 20040404.

You shouldn't have to futz around with any alignment.

I don't see anything obvious jumping out at me in the above.

Could you post the actual compiler error? I assume that it refers to the 
line that you mentioned above.
