Hrm.  My concern was that if we spend a full minute spinning to wait
for the noatime check, then $newnewnew won't be new new new *enough*
if it were created before that delay.  I hadn't noticed that there
were inter-dependent tests following later.

Do we need to "sleep 2" before touching $newnewnew, though?  Or could
that part stay in the "elif"?
