First of all, HUGE thanks to everyone involved in this project!

There is now a bunch of coverity issues (OVERFLOW_BEFORE_WIDEN mostly)
tied to ino64_t. At least the following CIDs are related:

977071, 977072, 977073,  977094, 977095, 977096,
1375572, 1375573, 1375574, 1375575 1375576, 1375577,
1375578, 1375579, 1375580, 1375581, 1375582, 1375584.

It may take some time to shake up the issues but the change was
very necessary. Thanks again!

Pedro.
