	 *
	 *   3. B decides to auto-compact the stack and merges two tables. The
	 *      file size now matches what A has cached again. Furthermore, the
	 *      filesystem may decide to recycle the inode number of the file
	 *      we have replaced in (2) because it is not in use anymore.
	 *
	 *   4. A reloads the reftable stack. Neither the inode number nor the
	 *      file size changed. If the timestamps did not change either then
	 *      we think the cached copy of our stack is up-to-date.
