I haven't delved into the code, but do you know if it handles properly
architecture differences between sender and receiver ?
Things like 32b long vs 64b long and little endian vs big endian ?

Because the message end up send across network, this matters, there
historically has been at least one instance of a bug because PMT was
not resilient to that when exchanging data between a x86_64 PC and an
E310 for instance.
