The Null Device

I just found the nature of an annoying bug in licq: it gets the byteorder wrong on UINs on some incoming messages, which results in messages appearing to come from nonexistent users. (I.e., a message from user 0x1234567 would appear to come from 0x67452301.) So, if you get messages from nonexistent users and want to find out who sent them, just convert the UIN into hex and byte-swap it. Or wait for a fix.
