Heh, back when Casey was first drafting this code I mentioned the same issue 
regarding byte ordering but Casey assured me that everything was correct.  I 
didn't have a Smack test system at the time so I couldn't verify the behavior.  
I'm glad you had a chance to test it, needless to say you should fix that when 
you submit your patch.
