You don't mention which platform you're using, but given that the tail
of your log mentions AIDA Shinra <address@hidden> I guess you're
porting to Mac OS X.  In that case, it sounds like you're running
afoul of the problem noted in tests/chgrp/basic:

  # The following no-change chgrp command is supposed to update f's ctime,
  # but on OpenBSD, it appears to be a no-op for some file system types
  # (at least NFS) so g's ctime is more recent.  This is not a big deal;
  # this test works fine when the files are on a local file system (/tmp).

If my guess is right, it's a bug in your operating system.  You might
investigate this further to see whether my guess is correct.

It might not hurt to report a bug to the fink group
<http://fink.sourceforge.net/>; perhaps they have a fix.
