Anything off about the \tmp parition on our test machine?

[Rod Widdowson]

I spent some time this morning trying to work out why the extra test I put
into spring-extensions failed last night.

It all comes down to the fact that the file I'm looking at in the service
test, which lives of \tmp returns a lastModified() date of 0, which spring
then misreads as "File doesn't exist" - even though it does because we
predicate our query to spring on that.

So given that the service reload (which depends on lastModified) works on
other machines all I can imagine is that it is the file system implementing
\tmp which is being odd.

Any thoughts?
