Summary: Calling write before utime result in wrong modification time

Initial Comment:
The attached test-utime.c test case does a simple open->write->utime->close sequence.

It should create a file with a modification time of 'Jul 1 1998'. The modification time is captured just after utime, and after the close.

It fails on MSYS, but it passes on other platforms (Cygwin, Ubuntu 6.10). To make it pass on MSYS, I had to insert a fsync call before utime, or comment the write.

System info:
Windows XP Home SP 2
gcc version 2.95.3-1
ld version 2.11.90 (with BFD 2.11.90)
MinGW installer: manual (tar -zxf)
MSYS build environment
$ uname -a
MSYS_NT-5.1 CESAR 1.0.11(0.46/3/2) 2007-01-17 12:36 i686 Msys
MinGW runtime version: 3.11
w32api version (MSYS DVLPR): 1.3

I'm unassigning it in case someone else can pick it up while I'm away.
