Got any info on that?

I noted that MOVE_FROM and MOVE_TO events are not guaranted to arrive in
order, or even the file descriptor might briefly close with "no more
events" inbetween them, but I never ever heared of anybody encountering an
issue of an event in a watched directory on not being correctly reported,
without getting the information of an overlfow with an OVERFLOW event,
which results in case of Lsyncd in a full rescan of everything.
