i slightly prefer the former, but that's neither here nor there.  the
only thing that ever irks me about hexdumps like this is the
implication that the 00000001 (from yours) may or may not be in local
byte order or network byte order.  for, eg, sparcs it makes no
difference.  for intel it does.  im(ns)ho, it should *always* be in
network byte order since that's the ordering my brain uses.
