[c-nsp] FWSM config-change timestamp

fwsm - ver 3.2(5) in cat 6509-E(12.2 SXI)

The last-config-change timestamp in the running-copy of the config reflects the current-time in the following cases:

1) more system:running-config
2) copy running-config to a remote server and open via regular text editor.

A sh run in the module has always stripped out the info and I am aware of that behavior but this one is new.

I would leave it as a not-quite-so-cosmetic bug but in this case RANCID for obvious reasons, sees the different timestamp and emails the meaningless diffs to me and the PHB's and I have to explain... 

The startup-config reflects the actual-time a change was made.

Wondering if anyone has seen this behavior and knows of a workaround short-of-an-upgrade.

There is nothing related to this in cco- release notes/bug reports.

Any insight would be appreciated.
