dragon% ls -l /init

12/31/1969 is before UNIX Time!

There are other files with unsoud time signatures. Start wsl --debug-shell and list root fs:

-rwxrwxrwx   1 root root 1870152 Jan  1  1970 init
drwxr-xr-x  15 root root    4096 Jan  1  1970 systemvhd

Two files showing the beginning of UNIX Epoch.
