	    The "Copy File" command fails when copying a file to the LOCAL: host.
	    It dies trying to change the creation date of the file.
	The problem is really in the local file system.  Probably the correct fix
	is to have a default method for change-properties on si:file-stream-mixin
	which passes it on to the pathname.
    This won't work if the pathname is :NEWEST, as well as some other
    obscure cases.  :CHANGE-PROPERTIES should be made to be a required method.

The default method I added just does
(LEXPR-FUNCALL (FUNCALL-SELF ':TRUENAME) ':CHANGE-PROPERTIES ARGS)

:TRUENAME is already a required method.
