To whom would you like to report this bug?  If you think it's a DJGPP bug,
you have already reported it.  However, to solve it, someone needs to step
with a debugger into the library function `utime' called by `touch' and see
why does it fail on Windows 2000.  Only then would it be possible to look for
solutions.

If you want to help solve this bug, please try debugging `utime'.  The source
of that function is freely available in v2/djlsr203.zip, and the function
itself is pretty short.

If you want to report that to Microsoft, please do.  However, even then I'd
guess you will need to know what exactly doesn't work in function 5705h, in
order to make a useful bug report.
