Text import broken

Sometime over the past 2 to 4 days text import has
been broken at least on Windows builds.

I have looked into the problem and I've found that
when the 8 bit characters are converted to the 16-bit
internal representation that the two bytes are swapped
incorrectly.

Thus a space character is converted from
0x20 to 0x2000 instead of 0x0020.

Other importers are not affected. Text export may
have
the same problem.

Not sure about other platforms. Somebody please
check.

Andrew.
