stat -f recognizes the Lustre file system type
+** Bug fixes

+ seq 9223372036854775807 9223372036854775808 now prints only two numbers
+ on systems with extended long double support and good library support.
+ Even with this patch, on some systems, it still produces invalid output,
+ from 3 to at least 1026 lines long. [bug introduced in coreutils-6.11]

** Changes in behavior
ls -l now marks SELinux-only files with the less obtrusive '.',
