In the morning when I again tried it then it becomes OK :

[jaswinder@hpdv5 linux-2.6-tip]$ ls -l include/config/auto.conf
-rw-rw-r-- 1 jaswinder jaswinder 18788 2009-03-22 10:53 include/config/auto.conf

why it behaves differently last night and showing 5:30 hours ahead of my
time. BTW, my timezone IST is also +0530.

I have checked the source code in kconfig where we minupulate auto.conf.
We do a simple 

fopen(".tmpconfig", "w");
write a lot
fclose()
rename(".tmpconfig", "auto.conf");

So nothing suspicious that involves changing the date of the file.

I expect you have to locate the issue locally if it happens again.

I wonder if we save filetime in UTC or in local time.
If it is the latter then if logged in as different users
with different timezone could maybe explain it.

You are UTC+5,5 hours in IST IIRC and the clock skew is 5,2 hours.

[And it was late in night too :-) ]

OK, it is a dual boot machine may be Windows screws it, if I face
similar problem again I will let you know.
