Yes, both Corinna and I had potential "fixes" (neither being a complete
fix) for this in our sandboxes but they didn't make it into 1.5.15.
Corinna got this working for >=XP which means that it wouldn't be right
only on NTFS file systems on NT3.5, NT4, and NT2K. I just was going to
get rid of the inode field entirely because, as you'd previously said,
any well-designed software would adapt to the lack of that field.
The end result was that neither of the changes got in.
