[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Thanks for writing and reviewing that code. I looked at inotify.c after 
the patch was applied and found a few races and integer-overflow issues, 
most of which have likely been lurking there for a while. I fixed the 
problems that I found by installing the attached patch into master; 
please give it a try when you have the time.
