+ok, the first example code was buggy, but here is the correct one.
+This is tested with ms.net.
+
+public static void Main () 
+{
+ 
+	decimal d = -18295873486192640;
+	decimal d2;
+	unsafe {
+		byte* ret_ptr = (byte *)&d;
+		byte* ret_ptr2 = (byte *)&d2;
+		for (int i = 0; i < 16; i++) {
+			Console.WriteLine (ret_ptr [i]);
+			if (ret_ptr [i] == 128) 
+				ret_ptr2 [i] = 86;
+			else
+				ret_ptr2 [i] = ret_ptr [i];
+		}
+	}
+	Console.WriteLine (d2);
+}
