I suspect Thomas is right and the fix that was put in (sheepishly: by
me) was not correct.

I'll vote for this to be included in 5.3.1 (the next rc release of
which I'll push tomorrow; I really wish SF CVS servers hadn't gone
down a month ago...  That's when I had the most free time and it
really blew my release schedule).

It's not that simple, I'm afraid.  Much of the time it's also how the
structures used by the kernel store them.  I'm pretty sure that some
systems are storing them in host order and others in network order,
which means you sometimes need to apply htonl and other times you
don't.  That's what's truly broken.

But you're right, we should have a policy about how things are stored.

I say host-order.  Or maybe network.
