New submission from Damien Elmes <resol...@gmail.com>:

It seems like you can't set a modtime of 0 on a vfat partition. This may not be 
a valid thing to do, but it took me a long time to figure out it was a bad 
thing, as the error doesn't appear until the next time the error flag is 
checked:

>>> os.utime("testfile", (0.0,0.0))
>>> import time
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
WindowsError: [Error 87] The parameter is incorrect
