[Same effect if you live on a better system like linux that does not
die when %s is a null pointer.]
The segmentation fault occurs because %s has a null ptr...
The error message is from copy.c:606.
1) It looks like this case is not intended to end up inside the
enclosing if (...).
2) The error call has 3 %s values and only two args? ... get rid of
the first "%s: "; error inserts that part.
The real reason for this bug report is that mv should not go on and
start copying b to b/b at all in this situation. This I think you will
be able to trace much more quickly than I can.
