Looking at ...include/sys/types.h I found that ino_t is actually
unsigned short, that is only 16 bit in size. Thus, we (in 'rm' etc..)
do compare the lower 16 bits of prepared by hash_path_name()
32-bit integer.
I think this is a main cause for $subj$, though the hashing
function itself is not as perfect as it could be (in theory).
PS: Or do I have incorrect header file?
