and got:
3 1026 2147483678

I guess the fd looks reasonable, 1026 matches the #define for F_NOTIFY 
in /usr/include/bits/fcntl.h, and the flags looks like the problem.

Converting that to hex:
8000001e

So I tried it without the fnctl.DN_MULTISHOT flag (0x80000000), and it appears 
to work (correctly - each time I make a change, the unittest flags it).
