Another set of tests is to use the experimental coreutils-5.94-5.
Doing/bin/pwd inside a directory on the strange filesystem stress tests
d_ino (I already know that on ClearCase (MVFS), /bin/pwd fails inside of
versioned directories, such as ccase/foo@@/main/, since ClearCase refuses
to list foo@@ in a readdir of ccase, but that is not cygwin's bug). And
comparing '\ls -ia' against '\ls -ipa' will show whether d_ino agrees with
st_ino.

On cygwin, ino_t is advertised as 64 bits; if all 64 don't match, then
cygwin needs to be patched.
