Subject: NT 4.0 file creation date - bug

During some database update procedures we found problem in NT 4.0.=20

Example:
Create file for example A.TXT and then destroy it. Create file (or rename
some other file) again with same name during 30 seconds. File has same
creation date than old file had.

(You find file creation date information clicking File/Propeties/General:
Created)

This seems to be only in NT 4.0, all SP=B4s, both NTFS and FAT. We have
tested only english versions of NT.
In NT 3.x, win95, win98 (english versions) is=B4t ok.

We wrote this first to NTbugtraq. Thanks to Russ.
