Alan privately suggested instead:

        (unsigned int)minor(stb.st_rdev) & 0x7;

and printing with %u, in order to avoid invoking formally
undefined behaviour (unsigned -> int cast and bitwise ops on
signed values).

I've just not gotten around to committing it yet (I think I'll be
using u_int instead).
