Could somebody with a Mac (big endian machine) please evaluate the following
and let me know what you get? I'm trying to finalize a FloatTest and want to
make sure it's going to work on little endian and big endian boxes.

  { SmalltalkImage current endianness . Float nan at: 1 .  Float nan at: 2 }

On a little endian box, I get:

  #(#little 4294443008 0)

Thanks,

Dave
