I've reviewed these, and pushed them to autobuild, except for the 3 you
mention above, because I need to be convinced as to the correctness.

Isn't the issue that we want to know not only that the write time is
updated to the correct value, but that it is updated essentially
immediately, not some time later?

I also removed an extra printf argument in 3 of the torture_comment
calls, that caused the compile to break on my system.

Thanks,
