[CMake] "Cannot restore timestamp" error on Windows

Hi all; I'm getting this error most, but not every, time I run cmake on
my main Windows build system:

28>CUSTOMBUILD : CMake error : Cannot restore timestamp D:\build-dir\MASTER-BRANCHES30-WINDOWS\BaseTest\CMakeFiles\generate.stamp

It happens for different targets as well, not always the same one.

I looked up this message and found another report of this error which
was purported to be fixed in cmake by this patch:

commit 2dc17f88dd2de900154f153f521b803ec9b7c377
Author: Brad King <brad.king at kitware.com>
Date:   2013-02-12 10:46:22 -0500

So, I've built a new cmake from 2.8.10 and cherry-picked that patch and
I'm using that cmake now.  However, even so I'm still seeing the above
error.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Cheers!
