Especially your last email that talks about m-a:same potential troubles leaves me unbought, as ma:same is afaik only avout file contents, surely not file metadata (timestamps) (which would be different anyway for the "last timestamp+1sec" as you said?!).
Well if SDE varies, binaries, manpages etc can end up having different
