The documentation for utimes(2) claims that it should be declared
as follows:
utimes(file, tvp)
char *file;
struct timeval *tvp[2];
The declaration for tvp is incorrect though. It should be
struct timeval tvp[2];
Both the manual page and the lint library need to be updated.
You get interesting results when you give the kernel a pointer
when it expects the time in seconds. (pointers, at least on
VAXen, tend to look like fairly large negative numbers).
