I thought I was clear that the problem was WITH inodeprints. I don't
see what you propose would help me, because if any of it didn't work
then monotone would be fully broken even for the basic of the users.

The attached file is a monotone repository with an example of this
behavior. It contains a test.dat and a test.c file that does a simple
mmap processing on the test.dat file (I could have done other things
but tried the replicate as close as possible what I'm doing in my
application).

Heres a use-case where it shows the issue:

Off course that if I do a "refresh_inodeprints" or remove the
inodeprints file it will work, but that is not the point.

My point is I'm trying to understand if this is a bug or a "work as
designed" kind of thing.
