Thanks for the link.

Christian is quite correct in his reply.  I don't know what I was
thinking when I wrote fwrite(le_int8(&n)) as clearly we need the value
and not the pointer.  I was probably thinking fwrite needs the pointer
and just got it wrong in my head.  This is what I get for not having
an automatic big-endian continuous integration system I guess.

I'll correct it.

James
