I don't have the exact fix in front of me, but check all of the
comparisons that determine whether or not byte swapping is needed.
One of them has the resulting then/else code reversed, meaning that
for the one section, byte-swapping takes place when it shouldn't, and
vice versa.  Fix that and it should work.  I have it working (as far
as I have tested) on my 68000 based Fortune V7/BSD4.? system.
