Subject: incorrect timestamps on files using webdrive

Hello,
	
I've discovered a conflict between the cygwin b20.1 bash shell and a
program called webdrive which lets you map a drive letter to an FTP site
(http://www.riverfrontsoftware.com/ for more info)

the problem has to do with the file's timestamp.  when I do a dos DIR on
the drive (j:) which I mapped using web drive I get the files with their
correct dates

for example:

..> dir j:

results in

 3/08/00  11:27             297  test.html

However,  the unix command in the bash shell

..> ls -la j: 

results in:

-rw-r--r--   1 0        everyone        297 Apr 22  2009 test.html


as you can see the date has been transformed to 9 years into the future. 

Obviously this is some problem with the webdrive software.  I emailed the
developer but he doesn't use cygwin.  I was wondering if someone here knew
what part of the file attributes the unix commands look at (it seems to be
different than dos)?  I would like to tell the developer so he can fix
this problem since it effects all cygnus derived software (e.g in perl
when I ask for a files timestamp it too is 9 years into the future)

thanks

vince
