After editing a file, the timestamp on the file (according to ls -l)
is unchanged. However if stat <filename> is executed, the change
timestamp given in the output differs from that given in ls -l:
$ ls -l foo.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 Alex 126 Jul 29 17:10 foo.c
$ nano foo.c
### File is edited and saved ###
$ ls -l foo.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 Alex 289 Jul 29 17:10 foo.c
$ stat foo.c
File: `foo.c'
Size: 289 Blocks: 1 IO Block: 1024 regular file

This issue doesn't appear to be isolated to ls -l: it is also causing
problems when running make or cvs commit on other files, as make and
cvs thinks that the files hasn't been modified. (I've resorted to
running touch on the files as a workaround.)
A search on Google on "cygwin file timestamp" failed to find anything
related. I had deleted my entire Cygwin installation (it is installed
on a separate partition), reformatted the partition (NTFS) and
reinstalled, but the problem is still occurring. Any ideas on further
diagnosing and solving this problem is appreciated.
I am running Cygwin on Windows XP Home Edition, SP2. Output of
cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out is attached.
Thanks.

I can't reproduce this problem at all. Assuming nano changes the file
in place, opposed to editors like vim, which recreate the file on write,
then a simple open/write/close like this:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <sys/fcntl.h>
int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
int fd = open (argv[1], O_WRONLY);
if (fd < 0)
{
fprintf (stderr, "open(%s): %d <%s>\n",
argv[1], errno, strerror (errno));
return 1;
}
--argc; ++argv;
while (--argc > 0)
{
++argv;
write (fd, *argv, strlen (*argv));
}
close (fd);
return 0;
}
would have the same effect. It hasn't, at least not in my testing.
Is there a chance that you're suffering from a malice virus scanner?

I disabled Norton Antivirus 2005 and ZoneAlarm firewall, but the
problem is still present.
I did some further troubleshooting and found that this problem doesn't
occur anymore if I'm running Cygwin while Windows XP is in safe mode.
But it happens again if I start Windows using the "Safe Mode With
Networking" option. I've been able to reproduce this consistently.

This points to some bad interaction with another piece of software on
your machine. Probably something which installed a driver module.
