As a wild guess, it looks like some kind of endianness issue.  The test code 
tries to determine the endianness of the machine and then tailors the test 
accordingly.  There may be a bug with the endian determination.

It shouldn't matter where you build the pnetlib assemblies: they should be 
portable to everywhere.  Have a look at the test code, insert some 
Console.WriteLine statements, and try to determine whether the code is 
guessing the endianness of the machine correctly.
