I have a new implementation which keeps an old and a new mtime, and checks that before checking the old and new crcs (and possibly re-calculating crcs)... but now that I think about it again, I shouldn't need to keep two mtimes.
However, the version currently in 1.2 writes the 3 numbers to the deptable, which is incompatible with previous behaviour which writes/reads only 2. This needs to be fixed at the very least - my new patch stores only 2 and 'does the right thing' when presented with an old file, and causes the old implementation to DTRT when presented with a new style file. And the version in 1.2 doesn't behave correctly when it finds a file who's mtime has changed. It doesn't shuffle the crc value from second to first before overwriting it with the new value (in update()). This causes excessive LaTeX runs. I have now written something for 1.2 which keeps only one mtime; I'd better test before posting. Ben
