Just SDX'd the same sourcecode with runtime tclkit-cli-8_6_6-x86.exe instead of tclkit-cli-8_6_5-x86.exe and tested some call:

Have to inspect the source code to see what's going on.... For explanation: The command is part of a program which contains in it's VFS lots of other programs, which are simply listed with the switch -showprog.
APN Likely caused by this check-in by me that adds support for atime/mtime etc. for special Windows files like CON:. As per the manpage for file atime/mtime commands,
On Windows, a mtime of 0 should never be generated (hence the code is under a #ifdef Windows) since a modification time of 1970 is impossible, but clearly I did not take into account VFS implementations doing this. For practical reasons, might be best to accept the bogus time of 0 as valid and change documentation accordingly.
MHo Additional Info: The original timestamp of the directory notepad2 used to create the VFS is 05.10.2014..... very mysterious. Could it be that file mtime no longer works for directories within a VFS?
DKF: It definitely should work. If it doesn't, that's a genuine regression.
APN: Not sure exactly what should work means. The 8.6.5 version returns 0 (hence the 1970 timestamp above). Does that construe "working"? Or does working mean the VFS should maintain a real time stamp?
MHo However, no file or dir has such a timestamp...:

c:\Users\matthiasu\usr\pgm\tcl\usr\Src\hr\hr.vfs\bin>DKF: Exactly. I don't know why that isn't working, and I had no reason to expect it to not work. It's supposed to work; it's our intention that it works. That it does not, that is a wrong thing. This is a bug and it hasn't been properly reported yet (as of 2016-08-20T14:00Z). Is it possible to make this bug exhibit itself with plain Tcl? That would help hugely with making an actionable bug report .
