That's bug #61932; it's not an endian issue, but a signed/unsigned char issue
(PPC and ARM default to unsigned). Looked at slightly differently, it's a
generic int->char->int cast problem, you inevitably lose data...
And no, it's not been fixed!! (Even though I posted the patch over six weeks
ago!!) Should I reopen that bug at priority "important" to get the maintainer's
attention?

The one-line patch is in my post to this list of 13 Apr 2000 16:11:53 -0000 (and
in the BTS).

I don't know of anywhere in particular, but because of the use of lexx in those
packages, it may exist in some others which use that parser infrastructure...
