Paul,

As I understand it the ARM is being used in "middle endian"
mode, or at least is not a traditional big endian system so I
don't believe my iBook will produce the same problem.

I'm personally not too keen on making all my software support this
... distinct ... endian case.  I'm fairly confident that Adriano is
only seeing the tip of the iceberg so far.

Best regards,
