FYI,

Here are the symptoms of the utimes failure I mentioned recently.

$ cat utimes.c #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h>

#include <utime.h> #include <sys/time.h>

int main () { char const *file = "x"; static struct timeval timeval[2] = {{1, 2}, {3, 4}}; if (utimes (file, timeval)) perror (file), exit (1);

{
  struct stat sbuf;
  if (lstat (file, &sbuf))
    exit (2);

  if (sbuf.st_atime != 1)
    exit (3);

  if (sbuf.st_mtime != 3)
    exit (4);
}
exit (0);

} $ gcc -W -g -Wall utimes.c $ touch x $ ./a.out [Exit 3] $ strace -e utime ./a.out utime("x", [0, 0]) = 0 $

My environment:
