Jim,

Thanks for getting to this. I applied the patch and was surprised to see it
still has the same bug! There is another comparison function that needs
fixing. I verified that 64-bit inodes work properly with this additional
change:

static int
dev_ino_hash_compare (void const *x, void const *y)
{
  int result;
  result = memcmp(&((struct dev_ino const *) x)->di_ino,
                  &((struct dev_ino const *) y)->di_ino, sizeof (ino_t));
  if (result)
    return result;
  result = memcmp(&((struct dev_ino const *) x)->di_dev,
                  &((struct dev_ino const *) y)->di_dev, sizeof (ino_t));
  return result;
}
