Sorry if this is a stupid question, but why do you have to compare hashes _and_
the last few bytes of the bigname?
A lookup via bigname gives you two 32bits hash values, and there I'd assume that
this is sufficient for a collisions free lookup. Especially since an
resumed readdir()
with a 64bits cookie has to work too on your filesystem.
