Ah ok, that is cool. thanks.

My big disappointment is that Windows do not support NDR64 for BIG
ENDIAN encodings :-(
Would have been so nice to be able to test with all 4 mutations of
ndr32 vs 64 and big vs little endian.

I spent a whole day trying to figure out why NDR64 + BIG-ENDIAN were
just always rejected with a FAULT PDU.
Until I found a microsoft doc that specified ndr64 must use little endian :-(

Funny thing is that windows2016 does allow you to negotiate both big
endian and ndr64 in the BIND command
successfully. But the following REQUEST PDU is faulted.

Windows2016: "yeah, you offer both ndr32 and ndr64 in the bind pdu and
you say you use big endian. Cool. I will trick you and respond that I
want ndr64 and that I rejected ndr32"
Me: Grrrrrrrrrr <angry noises>
