	That is probably because of endianness issues.
There are some patches floating around from over a
year ago for swapping the endianness of some of the
data structures. That code is not yet in CVS.

	There are a few parts of those patches which I
think are a bit clumsy, but haven't had time to improve
them yet (i.e. I am busy using them to write other parts)


	I am still thinking about the best way to do this
byte swapping. My current thought is to have a define,
SWAP_ENDIAN, which could be defined in settings.pro if
the frontend is the opposite endianness to the backend.
