Somehow, GEMDOS does not byte-swap the timestamps for folders.  So they are in
68000 byte order, while all other stuff on the disks are in 8086 byte order
(for MessDOS compatibility).  I have reported this bug to Atari back in those
good old days when TOS weren't burnt in ROMs, but obviously no one heard me :-(
Since you don't need this stuff anyway, just ignore it...
