Eli, please look at what your system tells you about the following two
Emacs files: "src/acldef.h" and "src/alloca.c".  I get:

Entries:       /acldef.h/1.2/Mon Sep  1 15:45:52 2003//
Emacs:                       Mon Sep  1 17:45:52 2003
Windows:                     Mon Sep  1 17:45:52 2003

Entries:      /alloca.c/1.29/Fri Jan 30 17:10:02 2004//
Emacs:                       Fri Jan 30 17:10:02 2004
Windows:                     Fri Jan 30 18:10:02 2004

Where Entries is the entry from CVS/Entries, Emacs is a prettified
version obtained from `file-attributes', and Windows is what WindowsME
tells me.  I fail to understand why the values for `alloca.c' differ for
Windows and Emacs.  If these values are identic for you (XP I presume)
than the problem is with Emacs for Windows98/FAT32.
