Hello,
Please forgive me if I don't explain myself well because I am not an
uberHacker but would like to see this fixed. Applications that pass a NULL
timeval struct to futimes (such as coreutils touch), futimes is supposed to
set the current date/time which does not work properly.
Alfred Szmidt helped me develop a patch that does work but I was hoping to
get some validation on whether this was OK or if there is a more appropiate
way to handle it (diff attached).
Please reply to me on this since I am not a subscriber to this list.
Thank you for your time!
