From that file:
In SuSe 9.3 touch modifies all 3 access times to the touch time if used
without the -t flag!!

The same for SUSE 10.0 - I just checked. :)

If you wouldn't mind, just to satisfy my own curiosity, what are the 3
timestamps that are being touched? In various other threads on this list,
I came away with the impression that there were only two timestamps being
maintained by any of the underlying file systems (Reiser, EXT2, EXT3,
etc.). Is this not true? Are there actually 3 timestamps being maintained
for a single file/directory at file system level, or, in this case, is it
done via some software implemented mechanism?

Here's the output from test I did:
