[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44814] which and run fail on windows for new files

[Oliver Heimlich]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #44814 (project octave):

Your instructions help a lot to clarify this. The cause seems to be the use of
symlinks in my file system.

In my case “pwd” refers to a directory, which is a symlink. The symlink
target's mtime changes when I add a new file. stat (pwd).mtime is the
modification time of the symlink itself, which does NOT change.

So, the mtime update works as expected, but some internal process fails to
refresh its file cache, because it does not resolve symlinks when checking for
mtime?!?
