have missed some context to this discussion...).

Mats,

Celeste should definitely do this time stamp checking.   I earlier sent
out a change set which did this, and I will revise it to
work with the recent changes to Celeste.  (Please send me a copy of your
original message for my reference).

This is part of a larger issue which is to be clear that the definitive
state for Celeste is stored on the disk file, and what is in the image
is a (very helpful) performance enhancing hint.  The current version of
Celeste does little to detect inconsistancies between the two, or handle
them gracefully.  Usually it works fine the way it is, but it can cause
problems.
