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.
