I've got the same problem with just one of about 15 users, but the bogus
time appears on some files on the local hard drive (but not on LAN drives).
We kept thinking it was a problem with backup sofware or auditing software
that was screwing up the time stamps. I didn't realize it was a Cygwin issue
until I saw the "date from hell" posted here!
I'll log in to his machine later today and see what he's got for Cygwin
configuration and see what I find. We're supposedly using B20.1 with a
cygwin1.dll from a snapshot - but obviously he must be using a slightly
different version as none of the other users encounter this.
