- i_count too small
- The i_count field of the in-core inode structure is a char. This is not
- necessarily enough on a big system where counts can get large. Damage
- potential is considerable. It is difficult to do anything intelligent
- about this except enlarge the field to a short (or maybe int); putting
- a ceiling on the count just postpones the problem, as was described a
- while ago in net.bugs.2bsd. I haven't tried the enlargement yet.
