Right, my only concern is since this is user-facing, someone/something
might depend on its format/byte order. But since no one has complained
about the bug so far, we might just as well do the simple thing and just
print t->dwX.

Btw, Bjorn, when applying the final version, please add the stable tag
too.

Thanks.
