ANSWER: The object file *should* get updated whenever the source file
changes, unless MasonStaticSource option is turned on. See [1] under links.

ANSWER: Mason *should* stat the file every time a request is made to check
for changes, as above. In static source mode see [2] under links.
The only time I have seen something like this happen is when the files were
stored on different computers and mounted remotely. If the time on the two
computers is out of sync, the object file might appear to be newer than the
source file. Other than that, I just don't know what would cause this.
