There used to be a problem with symlinks from / (I forget whether it liked
links to have a leading / or not, e.g. /zip -> /zip/boot worked but -> zip/boot
didn't or vice versa). I sent a patch to fix that before the potato release.
How long ago did you have this problem?
Check out (archive) bug #55039. I haven't touched the quik source since then
though. :-)

Sorry about that. Netscape Mail is sometimes good about that, sometimes not.
