[cciug] Puzzling results of 'ls' in views

We had a little glitch (self-imposed, I believe) where our system clocks
got set ahead to 2010 on January 2. We caught it and corrected it on
Jan 4.

So, in one of my views (default config spec), I see a VOB directory with
a date in 2010:

        drwxrwx--- 2 vobadm software 5407 Jan 3 2010 src

this is a checked-in directory element which hasn't been modified since
December, 1999:

        [15:24 ./popfit ] ct describe src
        directory version "src@@/main/16"
          created 07-Dec-99.11:13:16 by Daniel J. McKinley (zcdjm.software@pitt)
          "Added file element "pfinit.f.UNUSED".
           Removed file element "pfinit.f"."
          Element Protection:
            User : vobadm : rwx
            Group: software : rwx
            Other: : ---
          element type: directory
          predecessor version: /main/15
          Labels:
            POPFIT.722.HP-UX.ACE_B.10.20

I shut down my view server and view, reset my view, same results.

I then created a new view (also with default config spec), and set to the
new view. I see the correct date for the directory:

        drwxrwx--- 2 vobadm software 5306 Dec 7 10:48 src

and the new view selects the same directory version:

        [15:25 ./popfit ] ct describe src
        directory version "src@@/main/16"
          created 07-Dec-99.11:13:16 by Daniel J. McKinley (zcdjm.software@pitt)
          "Added file element "pfinit.f.UNUSED".
           Removed file element "pfinit.f"."
          Element Protection:
            User : vobadm : rwx
            Group: software : rwx
            Other: : ---
          element type: directory
          predecessor version: /main/15
          Labels:
            POPFIT.722.HP-UX.ACE_B.10.20
            
I did a recursive 'ls -lR' on my view storage (for the old view), and didn't
find any files with a date of Jan * 2010.

So, I'm confused as to why two views with the same (default) config spec
would show two different dates for the same directory element.

Any ideas?
