Bug ID: 207763
Summary: stat()'s st_nlink is capped to 32767
Product: Base System
Version: 10.3-BETA2
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: bin

UFS limits the number of hard links to a file to signed 16 bit integers.
ZFS doesn't have this limit and allows creating millions of hardlinks to a
file.
The problem here is stat reports false values after 32767, it's capped to that
value.
It would be good to fix this legacy someday.
