cp -rl dir dir in 7.1 not so great

In my old 6.x something, cp would just say cp: cannot copy a directory, `dir', into itself, `dir/dir' (it would still do it, but only once) In 7.1 I get a result like this: % timeout 1 cp -rl dir dir % ls -R dir|wc -l 1063 Without the -l it still behaves properly. -- Mikael Magnusson removed
