Isn't this an issue because we have the "wait for timestamps" disabled
when running the test suite? Under normal operation, you would not see
the situation with "no time difference" because it would wait for
timestamps.

Basically, the test depends on the file size to be changed for the
test to succeed. I don't think it's the only one.

But only if it has the same length *and* the same timestamp, right?

Bye,
