I've noticed, here, that the behaivor of make differs depending on the type
of disk it is running on: FAT or NTFS (this might have something to do with
the lack of mod dates on a FAT disk). Could this be a similar difference?
One of you on NTFS and the other FAT?

BTW I've not totally tracked down the make problem. At the moment everyone
who has reported the problem is on FAT and I don't know anyone on FAT who
doesn't have the problem. I've not delved into the code yet to figure out
what's wrong, so I won't say with absolute certancy it is FAT...

	Cheers,
		Gordon.
