Re: Coreutils (ln) bugs

Thanks for the report.  It is even weirder than that - if foo.exe is not executable, it complains:
$ touch abc.exe
$ ln abc 123
ln: creating hard link `123' to `abc': No such file or directory
$ echo $?
1
$ ls abc* 123*
ls: 123*: No such file or directory
abc.exe

I'll add this to my list of issues to resolve before letting coreutils-5.3.0-7 out the door (I'm hoping to have enough time to get it released by the end of next week).
