Is this a vfat (Windows) file system? I tried mounting a vfat file system
(both read-only and read-write), and Squeak sees DirectoryEntries with
"modificationTime" before "creationTime".  Hmm, I'll need to re-read Randall's
explanations one more time. It might be a stretch to consider this a
"feature" though ;)
