    changing this to below, may be all that's required.
    
    uint16_t segno;
    
    which caters for different size int's on different architectures.  Although, when the instance is filled it may then be out by a few bytes. :(

Because of this, if the sequence number goes above 65535, it'll make the codec value change and this can make calls fail.

I also checked to see whether the values stayed as expected if I forcibly changed the codec value to something other than 0, and in all cases it behaved as expected.
