timestamps do indeed seem to be the problem, I've *never* seen anything
like this... in 42 years of "enthusiast coding"...

I'm getting random file creation dates. Apparently the build process dies
silently if some file dates are far enough out...

That's why I go no output the second time i tried run nbmake-i386
install...it just died silently...

Even /usr/bin/touch seems to act up...gives random dates...

Here's an example...a portion of src/tools directory after a fresh cvs:

Maybe a file system error?

What to try next? I'm going to boot into single user and fsck my disks...
Other suggestions?
