I must be missing something very obvious, but how would this call behave
on an uninitialized cache defined above, or do we need reset_lstat_cache()
on it before the first use?

Neither.

It should be memset() to zero. Good catch.

I actually was hoping to hear "Didn't you notice that this is the first
function run by the pthread and its stack is zeroed by thread creation" or
something clever like that ;-)

Squashed in.  Thanks.
