current linux ext3 implementations have a time stamp resolution bug:
in-core time resolution is 64 bits, but on-disk resolution is 32 bits

the effect is that once file status info is flushed its stat() times
will be truncated to seconds

this wreaks havoc on programs that record 64 bit timestamps for
future reference
