Comment 1 Caolan McNamara 2012-03-01 10:47:45 UTC
s390x-only would be tricky, hopefully its a generic bigendian (+64bit) issue that I can replicate on a local ppc64

Comment 2 Tomas Pelka 2012-03-01 11:18:06 UTC
ppc64 run in progress, cc-ing Vasiliy

Comment 3 Vasiliy Sharapov 2012-03-01 23:44:47 UTC
This affects ppc64 as well.

Comment 4 Caolan McNamara 2012-03-02 10:54:28 UTC
aha, yeah generic bigendian bug that I'd already fixed upstream for 3.5 onwards, just wasn't fixed in 3.4

    Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field
