Current parsing code is building reverse-order integer, and then calls htonl() to assign right value to "ts_recent" field of pcb. This works correctly on little-endian machines, where htonl() reverses bytes. However, on big-endian machines, htonl() is no-op, so bytes stay reversed. This patch fixes it by building non-reversed integer.
