You don't say which filesystem you're looking at, but I'd guess it's a
temporary file or something that's being deleted, but hasn't beenflusheed
to disk. The modtime looks pretty fresh to me and besides, you can't
really tell a lot from an fsck on an active filesystem. Does it fsck when
the machine is quiescent and the filesystem unmounted? If so, then I
wouldn't worry about it.
