What Removed Added
Summary TCP.RST color rule always true on sparc Comparing a boolean field against 1 always succeeds on big-endian machines

Comment # 5 on bug 12236 from 
The representation of a Boolean value was changed from 32 bits to 64 bits in
2.0, *but* not all the code was changed to reflect that.  The code for equality
comparison is looking in the wrong field of a union; that *happens* to work on
a little-endian machine, as the lower 32 bits of the 64-bit value are
overplayed with the 32-bit value, but does *not* happen to work on a big-endian
machine.
