Details:

Hello,

In sysdeps/mach/hurd/futimes.c, when passed a NULL timeval struct, it is
supposed to return the current date/time and does not.

Attached is a patch that Alfred helped create that does work but may not be
the best solution.

I have sent an e-mail to the libc-alpha mailing list requesting a review.

Thanks.
