I would have expected that, once a file has been created, then its creation
time should remain constant (unless explicitly modified)--wouldn't you? Not
so! At least, not under Windows. Under both XP and Vista, the file creation
time reported by file:read_file_info changes by an hour when daylight saving
time ends (and presumably also when it begins)!
File system design according to the Principle of Greatest Astonishment,
evidently.
