FAT32 has a bogus feature: timestamps have only 2 second (or was it 3?)
granularity, not 1 second.  There is some code to deal with that in the
DOS port but I think it hasn't been properly translated into the Windows
port, for precisely this reason: in Windows we don't know whether the
filesystem is FAT or NTFS.
