[bug introduced in coreutils-6.9.90]
+** Improvements
+
+ "touch -d now writable-but-owned-by-someone-else" now succeeds
+ whenever that same command would succeed without "-d now".
+ Before, it would work fine with no -d option, yet it would
+ fail with the ostensibly-equivalent "-d now".

* Noteworthy changes in release 6.9.91 (2007-12-15) [beta]
