OK, 

after further checking, I think that NT might simply be returning crap in
the SMBgetatr response.

I have a trace of doing a Properties info for a file, and I notice that the
client (Win 95) does a SMBgetatr and then an SMBopenX. The response to the
SMBopenX contains the correct last write date, so clearly NT can get it
right in some cases, but looks like it gets it wrong in some cases as well.

It looks like the client works around the problems in NT.
