Hmm, for one it's not 64 bit safe. Digital Unix (which does claim to be POSIX etc compliant) defines d_ino as an ino_t which is a uint_t which, in turn (bear with me) is a 'unsigned int', voila, it's 32 bits long. Happily the ext2 file definition (in include/linux/ext2_fs.h) gets it right (its an __u32)...
