I changed the subject because I think this may actually be a real bug
somewhere.  I happened to notice 2 days ago that some of the files in
etinc's download area had dates exactly one year too old in this same
way.  I mentioned it to Dennis there, and he told me that the files
had been created by a 2.2.7 machine onto a directory mounted via NFS
from a 3.1 machine.  The dates are set correctly on both machines, but
the problem is reproduceable there.

I haven't been able to duplicate it myself, but I suspect that it's a
real bug.  If anybody else is seeing similar problems, please speak
up.

And no, this message is not an April Fools joke.
