Nudge accepted :) I've been more busy than usual.

I am worried because this specific area of code has been "fixed" at
least twice in recent memory, making Roger's changes the third attempt
to address this sort of problem.

I would really like to see verification of patches on the hardware
affected (big endian), as well as tests on little endian to ensure
nothing breaks, before applying them.
