[Aide] aide 0.11 reporting directory as changed even if configured not to do so

Hi,

I have aide configured like this:

$ grep -hr /etc /etc/aide
/etc/cron.daily$ StaticDir
/etc$ StaticDir
/etc/adjtime$ Databases
/etc/motd$ Databases
/etc/mtab$ n+p+u
/etc/inetd.conf$ InetdConf
$

StaticDir = n+p+i+u+g

Sometimes, aide reports /etc as being changed:

changed:/etc

Directory: /etc
  Mtime    : 2006-02-17 07:38:19               , 2006-02-18 07:11:56
  Ctime    : 2006-02-17 07:38:19               , 2006-02-18 07:11:56

The time of the change correlates with the DHCP daemon re-newing the
IP lease, but aide shouldn't be reporting the changes to mtime and
ctime in the first place.

Any ideas what might be wrong?

Greetings
Marc
