I think Erik might be correct. The byte order of x86 and SPARC machines
are different. This will certainly affect how data is read from your
hard disk especially if ints and longs.

Sun??? Or do you mean Sparc? The output of "uname -m" should tell
you.
If its Sparc (or UltraSparc) then things may be messed up because
Sparc/UltraSparc is a big endian CPU and i386 is little endian.
However, SUN do make i386 machines as well.
