So this doesn't mean that all big-endian systems WILL fail, so my

And a huzzah for sparc64.

I've had reports of it locking up an Indy when logging into Yahoo. SGI mips machines are big-endian, btw.


I also found this bug, and I wonder if the two are connected:

Bugzilla Bug 37919
net-im/gaim-0.75-r1 reports stack smashing attack when connecting to Yahoo

Maybe what we are seeing is a stack-smash attack taking out big-endian machines? (well, most anyways).
