Actually, I have been noticing this too. I just hadn't narrowed it down
to DJGPP just yet.
A bit disconcerting when make starts telling me files were created in the

I seem to remember that this is a bug in DOS, when the clock turns around
at midnight and you read it. I could be wrong; I just once had to go through
some extensive source code that went to great pains to not do that.
