Yes, but it's a lot harder to fix there than in mkisofs :)

Actually, -CURRENT doesn't have this bug, but it has another: it bases
the inode number on the position of the directory entry, so hard links
are lost.  It doesn't make a big difference, because mkisofs seems
unable to generate ISO 9660 file systems with hard links.
