- - One place in the code wasn't checking if fork() failed.
-
- - The "ignore nonreadable" daemon parameter no longer affects symlinks
- that are being copied, even if they point nowhere.
-
- - If the OS does not have lchown(), we no longer try to set the user
- & group of a symlink (which would either fail or set the referent).
+ - The ability to hard-link symlinks and special files is now determined at
+ configure time instead of at runtime. This fixes a bug with --link-dest
+ creating a hard-link to a symlink's referent on a BSD system.
