Before tryig to guess what is wrong, describe what happened more
precisely. All I know is that something wrong happened for Thierry
and Torvald, and I still don't know what happened actually.

That's wrong. That's not related to endian. What is undesirable here
is that the code assumes sizeof(int) == sizeof(long).
