Well if we are going to nit-pick then int_to_bytes() could be made 
faster if coded as ...

function int_to_bytes(atom a)
    poke4(mem,a)
    return peek({mem,4})
end function

and moved down after the 'mem=allocate(4)' line that's already there.

It all depends on if the function must always return INTEL-formatted
integers or not.
