The 8th Ed. UNIX manual says that a zero return code is returned if
the first file's mod time is AT LEAST AS RECENT as the second's (as
well as under other circumstances).  I take this to mean that in case
of an exact tie, the first file is considered "newer" than the second.
I don't know why it's specified this way.
