I'm not sure why you're so concerned about a bug that only shows up once in a while and has no known effect on Make's performance. The problem is most likely due to a rounding error of 1 second on FAT32 datestamps. If this is the case, I can think of much better things to worry about. :-) -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- | John M.
