Could it be you are using SuperServer on Windows, and Classic on Ubuntu?
This might account for the differences.

As far as I am aware, Windows will only update the date modified if a
process releases its exclusive or shared lock on a file. As this doesn't
happen regularly under SuperServer and does happen on Classic, I suspect
that might account for the difference in behavior (so based on that
suspicion I predict you are using SuperServer, and Andre is using Classic).
