Sorry to make so confusion. t0017 test use an external file (t0017.in)
to bcp-in. It use "native" format so it use binary lenghts. Let's watch
at the file

$ hexdump -C t0017.in

that's:

04 lenght
11 22 33 44 a number (0x44332211 == 1144201745 on Intel)
45 00 00 00 length (0x45)
70 72 ... a string...
