*scratch head*... I'll dig out a man-page 'cause I don't want to sign on
to the POSIX site just this sec:
time_t st_atime; /* time of last access */
time_t st_mtime; /* time of last modification */
time_t st_ctime; /* time of last change */
There's no creation time listed, and mtime and ctime are most certainly
not the same thing. Now, if you want to add a creation time, that's
fine, but I recommend against calling it ctime, as that's a sort of well
defined word in these parts.

I didn't even see that. Being dyslexic, my eye skips over that kind of
error very easily. I just see it as my own mistake ;-)
