RE: Emacs 64-bit ahead of its time: clock skew

Hi,

once in a while make complains that some of my files have timestamps in the future. I've investigated a little, and it seems that this affecs only
<snip>

You can get this behavior if the files are on a server whose time is
not syncked to your computer.

Good catch. We're using roaming profiles here, so my home dir is on some
network drive. If I re-run the test on a local disc, I get the
following:

That is, no time difference. But why does the network drive affect only
