Data point. 2.2.12 with minimal services, a few getty, minilog, kswapd and friends. No squid, mail, httpd, named, X etc.

AFAICT, doing stat on any inode will use up inodes. But only the first time you stat a node, do it again and there is no effect. This occurs on at least ext2 and vfat filesystems but the symptom does not occur doing stat() on /proc.
