remote commands (like mailto:) hang on Big Endian machines because of the TWO
instances of 

    // Failed to get the data off the window or it was the wrong type?
   if (!data || !*data)

(data is a char *, and the first 4 bytes in the buffer are an integer)

The easy fix is to change the test to

    if (!data || !*(int *)data)

Don't know if there is also a deeper problem between mixed byte order server and
client.


Reproducible: Always




Although this effects mailto this is not directly related to bug 281847.
