The timestamp first caused me to notice the file. Upon closer
inspection the size between old and new was different, 69K vs 70K
if memory serves (I did check stripped sizes). So if install
really does work around the file being in use then something else
must have failed. I must admit it has only happened once as I do
check the timestamps after every 'make world'.
Do the include files get installed with -C as well? Until I did
a 'make -DCLOBBER includes' I had timestamps from Oct 22 (which
appears to be the 2.2.5-RELEASE build date) for most of my
include files.

I like the words "almost always", I use them a lot myself :)
Cheers.
