  Well, from "make"'s point of view, it has to take the safe assumption that
if timestamps are equal, the file /could/ be out of date, so I think that
explains the behaviour?  Maybe take a look at the documentation for
`.LOW_RESOLUTION_TIME' in the make info page, it discusses related issues.

    cheers,
