It didn't raise much passion at the time, we can just hope it gets a bit
more attention now!
Hi Quentin,
Thank you for having a look.

Hi,
I admit this is a very special case, but anyway this is what I hit:
$ touch blub; ln -s blub blab; ls -l; cp -f blub blab
total 0
lrwxr-xr-x 1 madroach wheel 4 Oct 30 17:39 blab -> blub
-rw-r--r-- 1 madroach wheel 0 Oct 30 17:39 blub
cp: blab and blub are identical (not copied).
Now
