Touch function can't modify the date/time of a file.

Warning: utime failed: Invalid argument in d:\....

I believe this may be a symptom of the same bug: on FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE (x86), PHP 4.2.0's touch() function, at least when being called without the optional time argument, sets a wrong date on touched files. In my case, it's April 23, 1991(!). My system date _is_ correct; and touch(1) does work fine. 

This problem is 100% reproducible and did not exist in PHP 4.1.2 or any previous 4.x releases.

This should be fixed, can you try a windows snapshot (stable branch) from snaps.php.net/win32 ?

I am still getting the problem in version 4.2.3
touch() will not update my file time..

<?php
$f = "./test";
touch($f);
echo filectime($f)."<br>";
?>

always returns the same value in windows, but on a unix platform the time does change.
