It's trying to verify that the times from the file are correct - such as the
time that the file was created. Unfortunately, it can't verify it exactly and
so it has a bit of leeway in its check - 2 seconds. Apparently, on your
machine, that leeway is too small. I believe that you increased the leeway on
the Posix version of the test to 4 seconds just the other day because the
leeway wasn't enough on your machine. It's the exact same problem here, only
it's on Windows. Ideally, the tests would be exact, but they can't be, and 2
seconds was generally working. Apparently, it's still not enough however.
