In 3.6, the current date is written at the beginning of the save file.
If the clock ticks while the game is being saved, the file creation
date will be later than that shown in the save file, hence rogue
believes that the game has been 'touched'.  Chances of this happening
are greater when the system is busy.

Prevention: don't play rogue on a busy system.
Cure: ask your system administrator to reset the system time-of-day
to at least 1 minute previous to the file creation date, execute
'touch rogue.save', and reset the system time-of-day to the
correct value.
