Yes, it looks like endianness problem.  Your patch makes
it obvious - thank you for that.

I can't test my fix as I don't have access to a big
endian machine.  Could you do it for me?  You can
download a Debian source package for the as yet 
unreleased version 1.4 here:

Let me know the outcome (can't do it / works / doesn't
work, etc).

There is probably an endianness problem. The following quick and dirty hack
helped in my case:

I do not know how this should be fixed in a clean way ...
