In that respect, this is > known. What DLL did you update from? I see it with 1.3.2 and 1.1.8. I updated from the current head, which I guess is 1.3.2+. Now that you mention it, I just tried the test with 1.1.8, and you're right, the particular test case I mentioned happens there too. But what prompted me to send E-mail about this problem to the mailing list isn't a test case which spans only one minute. It was seeing a file being regularly updated with new data (coming from a >> bash redirection) for *over forty minutes* without its timestamp being updated. I could be wrong, but I don't think I've ever seen that with 1.1.8. Or perhaps I'm just on drugs and this problem has been around for a long long time :-).
