"chunk_size" is an unsigned int and "pos" is an unsigned long. The
"& ~(chunk_size-1)" operation clears the high 32 bits unintentionally.
The ALIGN() macro does the correct thing.

I'm suspecting there aren't many minix filesystems out there with a >4G
directory ;)
But we should fix it to set a good example, and to quieten
whatever-tool-i-suspect-you-were-using(?).
