error: long too large to convert to int
- hypothesis: overflows int on the way to the struct, on 32-bit
- wrote script to test hypothesis, but proved it wrong: the limit where struct gives error is 2**64-1, as is proper, so the problem is something else
- talk to directhex to extract more information, possibly add logging to pinpoint the value

Can't seem to reproduce this, but it was hopefully related to things now replaced by our own lstat wrapper. If you see this, re-open and add a way to reproduce. --liw
