For some reason the `verify-visited-file-modtime' test in

Windows / native Emacs 21.3. Here is patch to compare the bufer size
against files size on disk. It cures the revert problem.

That's not foolproof, since changes need not alter the file size.

Could you try to find out why verify-visited-file-modtime doesn't work
on Windows?  You said that the problem exists on Emacs 21---does it
still exist under Emacs 22?


I did a test on latest CVS Emacs on w32:

- opened a file in Emacs.
- (verify-visited-file-modetime (current-buffer)) => t
- did "touch file" (outside of Emacs)

Now I got

- (verify-visited-file-modetime (current-buffer)) => nil
