Actually, one (in `struct passwd') is `signed int', the other (in
`struct stat') is `signed short'.  Darn that MS-supplied stat.h!

Yes, this is probably the reason.

Jason, do we have any good reasons to use `struct stat' as declared on
the system header?  If not, I'd say let's roll our own, and be done
with this ugliness.  (It will also help us stop the bit-juggling we do
to squeeze a 48-bit file index into a 16-bit st_ino.

I'm still clueless about why Cygwin shows 60830, while we show 50830.
Ideas, anyone?
