On OSX, build emacs with X11, I see the following:

Victoria:bin admin$ ls -lh emacs*
-rwxr-xr-t  2 admin  staff    13M May 23  2010 emacs
-rwxr-xr-t  2 admin  staff    13M May 23  2010 emacs-23.2

Wikipedia says it's a NOP and according to sticky(8) it has no effect on
OSX because the kernel knows better than you about stuff like that now.
