It captures only the first int. This matches the behaviour of glibc >= 2.2
on 32-bit platforms. You don't want to do things differently than glibc,
right? <g>

glibc does this on 64-bit platforms. It probably matters only on 3-year-old
Linux/alpha systems. But it is less safe: There might be other systems
for which f_fsid is not an int, and that have use than 8 bytes for an
f_fsid.

Anyway, on the Linux filesystems I've seen the fsid is 0 anyway (*both* ints).
