The point is that the seconds count since the epoch need 4 bytes now, and I'd still want my files to have real mtimes. I thought of jumping back but then I noticed that even one year of seconds would need 4 bytes. The error seems to be caused because mtimes get sent using 3 bytes and not 4, if I'm not mistaken. --upas-vimaoacblpynxtgnxywmaerjua Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Return-Path: <9fans-admin@cse.psu.edu> Received: from mail.cse.psu.edu (postfix@psuvax1.cse.psu.edu [130.203.4.6]) by gsyc.escet.urjc.es (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian 8.9.3-21) with ESMTP id KAA09018; Thu, 12 Jul 2001 10:39:18 +0200 X-Authentication-Warning: gsyc.escet.urjc.es: Host postfix@psuvax1.cse.psu.edu [130.203.4.6] claimed to be mail.cse.psu.edu Received: from psuvax1.cse.psu.edu (psuvax1.cse.psu.edu [130.203.20.6]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id 68480199F3; Thu, 12 Jul 2001 04:38:59 -0400 (EDT) Received: from mercury.bath.ac.uk (mercury.bath.ac.uk [138.38.32.81]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id 2BCC0199C0 for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; Thu, 12 Jul 2001 04:37:25 -0400 (EDT) Received: from news by mercury.bath.ac.uk with local (Exim 3.12 #1) id 15Kbv8-0002qL-00 for 9fans@cse.psu.edu; Thu, 12 Jul 2001 09:34:02 +0100 Received: from GATEWAY by bath.ac.uk with netnews for 9fans@cse.psu.edu (9fans@cse.psu.edu) To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu From: "Douglas A.
