Journaling enabled or disabled same problem. Allegedly Darwin 6.x had no problem. Is this late atime a bug? Or is it a setting somewhere? Note: I know nothing about Darwin or MacOS. The problem was found during a report of misbehaviour of the MUA Mutt on comp.mail.mutt, see there full context in thread "N-flag stays put after reading", or <URL:http://www.google.com/groups?threadm=2004-12-01.07-28-53@krille.blacktrash.org>.
