After some more investigation I think that something is assuming that the ctime
field is the file creation time. It's not, it's the inode creation time. The
problem is that if you use something like cp -p or mv the modification and
access times are preserved but the inode creation time changes. I haven't been
able to find the bit in the code where the file is stat()ed [I'm a C programmer
not a C++ programmer] but what needs to happen is that the create date has to
be the oldest of atime, ctime and mtime. I can have a go at a patch if someone
can point me at the relevant file.
