That's all true.  One possible reason for including getuid() anyway is
so that two different sudo-empowered people can run the same script at
the same time without one having to disable his cache.

OK.

Works for me.  (It may be a worthwhile minor simplification to use
one-byte /d8/ as a partitioning subdirectory rather than two-nibble
/d/8/ scheme.  256 files in a single directory are well handled in our
filesystems.)
