[Qt-creator] qmake/moc goes into endless loop when files have a timestamp in the future

[Jaco Naude]

Hi

I'm not sure if the issue is with creator or with the qt tools (qmake
& moc) so I'm giving both lists a try.

I accidentally set my system time to a date in the future and only
realized it a day or so later. After I changed back the time and try
to build my project, the tools goes into a endless loop. See the the
qmake output below for an example:

I think it is because some files have a timestap in the future. Is
there a way to get around this? Or should I manually edit all files
with the date set back? I tried to set the attributes of all files
with the date set back but that does not do the trick.

Using:
Qt Creator 1.3.0
Qt 4.6.1

Thanks for your help,
Jaco
