This looks like it would actually change behavior on a little endian
architecture, so how did this work before?

>From some quick grepping, I see assignments both of the form

	...rs_length = ntohl(...)

and

	...rs_length = htonl(...)

but only see one declaration for a field named rs_length.

So my best guess would be that the code is ugly but working as is, and
needs cleanup by someone who knows how this field was intended to be
used.
