Thanks for testing. Just to be sure, Sun Solaris machines are big endian,
right? Intel is little endian, so Solaris actually uses a different byte
encoding here.

non-Windows, non-Mac-OS-X testers for that one?

Or maybe any Mac-OS PPC testers?

Thanks for reminding me. It's there now.

No, it's still in there.
