Hello Oli!

It's not. The file had a timestamp of 01-01-1998 on my OS/2 system; somehow
the timestamp got grunged when I sent it over to the Linux machine using binkd
1.1a-99/OS2. I just tried sending it again, and the same timestamp corruption
occurred.

Yes, and also the 64-bit vs. 32-bit question. I'll work on further testing
today.
