Subject: regression in utime

I'm not sure when this regressed, but in comparing logs of coreutils testsuite runs, sometime between 1.5.12 and 1.5.14 utime() was broken with regards to fifos.  It is still broken in the 20050412 snapshot:

$ mkfifo foo
$ touch foo
touch: setting times of `foo': Invalid argument

It used to return successfully (I'm not sure whether it actually touched times in 1.5.12, only that it didn't die with EINVAL).
