Re: patch to allow touch to work on HPFS (and others, maybe??)


I'm not exactly giving up.  It's just that at this point it looks like
the fix will not be trivial, and since my company will not endorse
a Waiver, I'm limited in the scope of fixes I can provide.  However,
I am more than willing to provide any testing/debugging services
that are needed.  The other issue is that this does not seem to be
a huge issue, since it hasn't surfaced too much previous to this.
