 With the above script, an MacOSX 10.4.8 NFS server to a HEAD alpha  
 client resulted in:
 
 Example where atime is updated when it shouldn't be.
 This is similar to when mail is delivered to a mailbox.
 
 mtime: -rw-r--r--  1 501  501  2 Nov 25 03:12:32 2006 file
 atime: -rw-r--r--  1 501  501  2 Nov 25 03:12:32 2006 file
 
 mtime: -rw-r--r--  1 501  501  4 Nov 25 03:12:35 2006 file
 atime: -rw-r--r--  1 501  501  4 Nov 25 03:12:35 2006 file
 
 mtime: -rw-r--r--  1 501  501  6 Nov 25 03:12:38 2006 file
 atime: -rw-r--r--  1 501  501  6 Nov 25 03:12:38 2006 file
 
 
 Example where atime is NOT updated when it should be:
 
 mtime: -rw-r--r--  1 501  501  0 Nov 25 03:12:41 2006 file
 atime: -rw-r--r--  1 501  501  0 Nov 25 03:12:41 2006 file
 
 mtime: -rw-r--r--  1 501  501  0 Nov 25 03:12:41 2006 file
 atime: -rw-r--r--  1 501  501  0 Nov 25 03:12:41 2006 file
 
 mtime: -rw-r--r--  1 501  501  0 Nov 25 03:12:41 2006 file
 atime: -rw-r--r--  1 501  501  0 Nov 25 03:12:41 2006 file
 
 
 Where running it locally on the server resulted in the correct handling.
 
 This error also occurs when NetBSD is serving to the MacOSX client...
 probably since they use UBC as well.
