Anyone have a fix for this problem?

Traceback (most recent call last):

It's probably an endianness error. You on a pre-Intel Mac? I thought I'd fixed it, but I had no convenient way to test it on a big endian machine. I'm at work, so I can't see the code, but try playing with the byteorder (around the line with a.byteswap()). Sorry about that.

Okay, I fixed it. You were calling byteswap() before loading the data into the array, which doesn't do a lot of good. :-)

I'll post a patch shortly.

Thanks for your help.
