+After adding some code for reducing the overall memory consumption in
+revision b4bc497, a number of spurious rebuilds was observed by different
+people. The problem was, that the value of the Node.changed() method got cached
+too early for File nodes.
+
+This test verifies that the changed() function works properly, especially
+in connection with auto-generated sources, combined with an explicit Depends().
