 I've changed the synopsis of this to
 
 	tty's aren't getting mtime right
 
 as the problem isn't specific to ptyfs - it also affects serial ports
 and older bsd-style ptys.
 
 The problem also seems to go back at least as far a 1.6.1:
 
   way:~ 8> date
   Sat Oct  1 17:18:01 EST 2005
 
 and
 
   way:~ 11> ls -lT /dev/ttyp[01]
   crw--w----  1 simonb  tty  5, 0 Oct  1 17:18:13 2005 /dev/ttyp0
   crw--w----  1 simonb  tty  5, 1 Oct  1 17:18:35 2005 /dev/ttyp1
 
 but note there the tty mtime is about 12 seconds late, but at least older
 than the other tty used for the ls command.
 
 Simon.
