Comment:

 (on the behalf of my friend lapo at lapo.it)

 On my 64 bit server, with release 2.3:
 {{{
 magic=ffffffff950412de
 MAGIC1=ffffffff950412de
 MAGIC2=ffffffffde120495
 MAGIC3=950412de
 }}}
 So the fix with MAGIC3 doesn't work and MAGIC1 would work if it was not
 truncated to 32bit itself.
 I've made it working with the following patch:

 {{{

 -               $magic = $this->readint();

                 if ($magic == ($MAGIC1 & 0xFFFFFFFF) || $magic == ($MAGIC3
 & 0xFFFFFFFF)) { // to make sure it works for 64-bit platforms
                         $this->BYTEORDER = 0;
 }}}
