+
+This patch fixes up the computation of nbinodes which would go
+negative due to an int overflow issue when nbblocks > 2Meg for
+a 2Gig or greater filesystem.
+
+The computation is now done as a float equation, since both nbblocks
+and bytes_per_inode are no floats, and then cast to int by assignment.
+
+int tmp_nbinodes = nbblocks * BLOCKSIZE / bytes_per_inode;
