file times still not quite right with 1.5.14 on Windows 98

[Jacek Piskozub]

Hi,

This is funny. I used the same test as Josef Drexler but on Windows ME 
after upgrading to cygwin 1.5.14. Of course the filesystem is also FAT 
(FAT32 in my case).

First I tried it from a DOS window:

C:\Download\test>touch test.txt
C:\Download\test>ls -l test.txt
-rw-r--r--  1 piskozub mkgroup 0 Apr  3 23:16 test.txt
C:\Download\test>ls -l --time=ctime test.txt
-rw-r--r--  1 piskozub mkgroup 0 Apr  3 23:16 test.txt
C:\Download\test>echo > test.txt
C:\Download\test>ls -l test.txt
-rw-r--r--  1 piskozub mkgroup 12 Apr  3 23:18 test.txt
C:\Download\test>ls -l --time=ctime test.txt
-rw-r--r--  1 piskozub mkgroup 12 Apr  3 23:16 test.txt

I believe this is exactly what Josef saw with bash. But then, after 2 
minutes, I start bash and try again:

C:\Download\test>bash
BASH-2.05b$ echo > test.txt
BASH-2.05b$ ls -l test.txt
-rw-r--r--  1 piskozub mkgroup 2 Apr  3 23:20 test.txt
BASH-2.05b$ ls -l --time=ctime test.txt
-rw-r--r--  1 piskozub mkgroup 2 Apr  3 23:20 test.txt

Can you explain this?

Regards,

Jacek
