I tried the 'ln -s' command in bothe 4.3 & 4.7 in a situation where it should fail and it did, but it still had a return/exit code of 0 , I think it should have been nonzero. I tried 'ln -s a b' where the file b existed (and was a directory) and I wanted to create the file named a also pointing to it. The correct form was 'ln -s b a'.
