So this is a long standing, ah, issue with the Network modules.

Try sending a UDP packet to port 45607 and you'll find that the
Haskell code gets it.

hex(45607) = 0xb227
0x27b2 = 10162

In short, PortNum doesn't do the endian conversion for you. And I
don't know a good way to figure out the endianness of the underlying
system from Haskell I'm afraid. I usually end up FFIing out to htons
or just assuming that the system is little-endian.

We should really fix this unless there's some trick that I've been
missing all this time.
