There has been some discussion of this same issue on a bugzilla
thread here:
https://bugzilla.andrew.cmu.edu/show_bug.cgi?id=2979
My reading of the manpages on my system is that "utimes()" is
deprecated (and besides we only have a resolution of 1 second
from the headers anyway) so I recommended going with the patch
that uses utime().
You should certainly see something that works correctly in the
next release though based on the interest this is getting.
