Hi, thanks for the response.  I apologize for not
supplying a test case.  Here's a modification of your
example program that demonstrates what I mean:


#include <utime.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
int main()
{
  struct utimbuf s;
  struct utimbuf s2;
  struct stat info;
  s.actime = 0;
  s.modtime = 1;
  utime ("./x", &s);
  stat("./x",&info);
  printf("  utime.file access time is %ld\n",
info.st_atime);  // prints "1".  I would expect "0".
  s.actime = 3;
  s.modtime = 1;
  utime ("./x", &s);
  stat("./x",&info);
  printf("  utime.file access time is %ld\n",
info.st_atime); // prints "3", which is both expected
and inconsistent with the one above.
}

I'm on cygwin-1.3.5 and Windows2000

Thanks,
Chad
