My static checker complains that on some arches unsigned longs can be 8

Additionally, Ben Hutchings points out that the buffer actually holds
big endian data and the buffer we are reading from is CPU endian.
It's not really as clear-cut as that. :-)  But I think it's slightly
more logical this way.

    they say cpu_to_beXX().
