Subject: Why does ls report some directory dates as future?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

I got no reaction to my previous submission so I am again seeking
comments, reasons, references, which will explain why
when I did an "ls -l" in / I got dates in the future which the NT dir
command says are current.
