Comment 2 Peter Staubach 2006-03-02 20:45:00 UTC 
The ramfs code to create most file types was missing the directory m/ctime
update as described in the bug description field.

It turns out that the support to create symbolic links was also not
updating the directory m/ctime.

Fixed both.
Comment 3 Jason Baron 2006-04-12 13:01:27 UTC 
committed in stream U4 build 34.17. A test kernel with this patch is available
from http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/rhel4/
