On the tests I've done (not sure which ones Franz has done), I was
finding that my test machines were using the BIG_ENDIAN code and then
the SMALL_ENDIAN code and getting totally confused by everything!

The main problem was that I was remotely doing the work (it's on a

of twiddling with his machine, everything was fine. He had screwed quite
