Touch bug

[Paul Blumstein]

Our network has some machines on 3.5 and some on 4.0.  If you have a zero
length file existing on a 4.0 machine and are trying to touch that file
over NFS (rw permissions, of course) from a 3.5 machine, touch does not
complain but does not modify the date.  This has caused makefile problems
that rely on touch to update dates.
