Hi Denys!
Thanks for introducing a special case for block/character devices. :) In
a way, you did more than I requested, in another you did not, because
DO_POSIX_CP still is not configurable the way I thought it was obviously

Hi Denys
Can you point to real security problems from the use of cp with POSIX

User comes to you and says I accidentally deleted my most important
