Dave,
I often do analysis on network-releated crashes and often find myself
doing mental byte swapping to convert from host to network and back -
I think crash can do it much better then me, so I wrote a patch to
teach rd how to do this.
I'm only doing byte swapping on 16 and 32 bit types because
64 bit integers don't have a "standard" network representation.
