Is that how it works? That's rather ... baroque. I'm going to have to

necessary to understand how something works. :-)

What surprises me is that there's anything on the file system that can 
grow without bound. But as I understand it, at least the security 
descriptors (i.e., the ACLs) can get put in a hash table and never 
removed. Seems odd.
