it needs to be, though, because icount has a different meaning here; it's
not number of inodes, it's number-of-batches-of-64-inodes, right?

and the bulkstat manpage says "hdr.icount is the number of inodes to examine."

Ok, you suggested on IRC< changing the bulkstat manpage to say "records" not
"inodes" which would work too.

I find myself wondering what the differences between these versions
are...?
