If you're compiling from source, the usual advice would be to "make clean" and 
make sure you're using the correct executable.

If your fs is very large then caching may be a problem. With the brute force 
method it was a good idea to cache the results. With the "reverse crc" method 
caching is not very useful. It's only marginally faster on my root fs, and on 
larger filesystems searching the cache will be slower than finding collisions. 
You can remove the code and see if it makes any difference:

Yeah, it also means for short file names an attacker can easily find the real 
name by finding all collisions and filtering out obviously nonsensical names, 
so it's more of an obfuscation than sanitization :/
