It's a sign of the apocalypse. The configuration of the 6th edition kernel Lions presented was about 10,000 lines of code. This version of cp is nearly 1/4 of that, and the function copy_internal() is over 1000 lines long. I'm clearly not smart enough to function in a world where cp is that complex... Back to real work...again...for real this time...I promise... BLS
