Public bug reported:
using a prime stride is a good mechanism to step around files in a
directory in a non-sequential manner, however, the implementation is
broken because the large prime being used to do the striding wraps on 64
bit integers causing aliasing and hence not hitting all files.
Use a smaller prime and ensure that the number of files is not a
multiple of this prime to ensure the striding always works correctly and
allows us to remove all the files.
