I tracked the problem down to the piece of code that packed a number
into a network-order 4-byte string:
(format "%c%c%c%c"
(lsh (logand i 4278190080) -24)
(lsh (logand i 16711680) -16)
(lsh (logand i 65280) -8)
(logand i 255))
which when (logand i 255) >127 apparently produces a 5-character string.
I tried it on both 22.0.92.1 and 23.0.0.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) with
identical results. It seems emacs has abandoned the notion that a
character is a byte, but one would at least think a character <256
should be one byte? Interestingly it never seems to make 2-byte
characters with just a single "%c" in the format, it needs at least one
preceding character to happen.
In any case I solved the problem by replacing this with the bindat
functions.
