Octave uses the timestamp of .m files to determine if it should parse
them again or not when you run them (although for some system files,
it never checks their timestamp). If you transfer files between two
machines, sometimes one machine's clock is wrong relative to the other
machine, and the timestamps for one machine will be in the future for
the other machine.

You can also get future timestamps if you change the system clock of
the machine you are working on.

The worst that can happen is that Octave won't re-read your .m files
if timestamps are wrong.
