Looking at the patch that changed the behavior: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00285.html it appears you're right. That was a fix to mv, but I guess it inadvertently affected cp. Jim would know more, though. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
