    It's my PERL, I've just run a test. inotify_test.c works correctly and
    shows the proper filenames. My PERL script is sometims dropping the
    first character, I've not been able to re-product the full junk ouput
    (it was all Java source code!?). I'll keep hunting. Is there a place I
    can subscribe to the inotify-announce list?
