+Convert mtime to int before comparing it
+
+The st_mtime attribute (which is a float) is compared against a value
+from the timestamp database, which was stored as an integer there.
+
+When working on a filesystem with precise timestamps the comparision
+will fail nearly everytime hence.
+
+Although it might be possible to enhance the database to store the
+fractional part too, this will complicate things more than we would
+gain by this change.
