I think I've narrowed this down to lock.c and the SysV file locking: it 
appears that Mush sets the modify time but not the access time on the
file.  Before I immerse myself in this, does anyone have Mush running
nicely on real System V?  If so, could you let me know what you did with
lock.c?  Or whether I should be calling SGI tech support...
