I can confirm inode errors also.  However, I can't be sure it's 2.5.3 that
did it.

All of the errors I've had all seemed to be files included in the
pre-patch that broke Configure.help into pieces.  I don't know the code
well enough, but if the errors could only have happened at file creation
then that would rule out 2.5.3.
