5ab732f by Guy Harris (guy@xxxxxxxxxxxx):
What we're testing for is byte-swappedness, not raw endianness.
On a big-endian machine, if the upper 16 bits of the length are non-zero
and the lower 16 bits are zero, that means that the length is
*little*-endian.
What we really care about is whether the file is in the reading host's
native format, so we can just fetch integral values without swapping, or
not in that format, in which case we have to byte-swap integral values.
Rename the variable and redo the code to match.
(This may have caused the PacketLogger reader to fail on big-endian
machines.)
