/* Some filesystems can slightly offset the timestamps of newly created files.
   To compensate for it, tar testsuite waits at least 1 second before creating
   next level of incremental backups.

   However, NFS mounts can offset the timestamps by bigger amounts.  
   
   This program returns with success (0) if a newly created file is assigned
   mtime matching the system time to the nearest second.
