Beagle changes ctime

["Felix E. Klee" <felix klee inka de>]

This is quite the horror: beagle changes the ctime of files on my disk.
To confirm my initial assumption, I just did another test, as follows:

$ export BEAGLE_EXERCISE_THE_DOG=1
$ beagled --replace --fg --debug

The files that are affected don't seem to follow a particular pattern.
Many of them are plain text files without an extension.  Perhaps, all
files that beagle indexes are affected.

I'm running beagle 0.2.16 on Slackware 10.2 (32bit).  inotify is
available, and the parition in question has been mounted as follows,
according to "mount":

  /dev/hda6 on / type ext3 (rw,user_xattr,commit=60)

My configuration in ~/.beagle/config/:

daemon.xml:
