Ah I see now. The previous code assumed that if 'utimensat' works correctly, as demonstrated by the test, there could still be a newer kernel that introduces new bugs, and it tried to be cautiously compatible with that newer broken code. All the new change does was to remove this forward-caution, right? If that is it, I agree, there's nothing to change in the doc. Bruno
