S5R4 has "ino_t" as a long (or at least that was what I last heard -
given that the BSD file system is one of the on-disk file systems S5R4
supports, they had to do that), with "stat()" getting a new trap number
and the old trap number giving you the old structure for binary
compatibility (just what Berkeley did in 4.2BSD, in other words).  They
also added some other Berkeley fields to the "stat" structure.
