Name: krT82822 Date: 06/03/99 The call to java.io.File.setLastModified() will occasionally fail on Windows98 machines using FAT32 filesystem. This happens on plain files, not directories as suggested by the fixes to 4177432 and 4156354. The standard JIT shows this symptom the most. Turning off JIT reduces the frequency of the problem. Performing a gc() just prior to the setLastModified() call in addition to turning off the JIT seems to make it work almost all of the time. This suggests a resource retention bug. Using HOTSPOT JIT with its GC scheme also improves but doesn't fix the problem. Please contact me for an example and script to evoke the problem.
