There is a separate "platform independent" category that does not require
FFI, and that lets you explicitly choose whether you want little or big
endian. This is what you should use for network protocols or
serialization. The methods are, eg,

#longAt:bigEndian:
#longAt:put:bigEndian:
#shortAt:bigEndian:

Ah, these ARE the ones I'm using.  Magma doesn't use anything in the "external
access" category.  Michael, I'm not sure why you had a primitive failure.

Thanks for re-clarifying this for everyone, Avi.
