+HP-UX 11 Y2K patch "Y2K-1100 B.11.00.B0125 HP-UX Core OS Year 2000
+Patch Bundle" has been reported to break the io/fs test #18 which
+tests whether utime() can change timestamps. The Y2K patch seems to
+break utime() so that over NFS the timestamps do not get changed
+(on local filesystems utime() still works). This has probably been
+fixed on your system by now.
