This is a new test in R-devel, and it's still undergoing some 
refinement.  It has issued some false warnings when there are problems 
reading the modification time of a file -- not all files have valid times.

I think those are now fixed (as of revision 71254); if you're seeing 
problems using a newer version, I'd appreciate seeing a copy of the 
tarball that causes them.
