I am going to have to look into that myself. I had the same issue when
developing unit tests and it drove me nuts because I fixed a bug in my
software and expected the unit test to pass only to have it still fail
and then I spent an hour trying to figure out how on earth my new fix
was bad only to find out that the executable for the unit test was
from the previous day...
