If you have relative symlinks, lndir doesn't work
too well. I will upload a tar file. Do

# tar xfz l.tar.gz
# cd linux/src
# lndir ../../gnu/src
# ls -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx    1 hjl      users           6 Oct  4 14:32 bar -> ../bar
lrwxrwxrwx    1 hjl      users          13 Oct  4 14:32 foo -> ../import/foo
# cat foo bar
cat: foo: No such file or directory
cat: bar: No such file or directory

Applied to XFree86 4.2.1-10.2 build.  Should be on p.r.c soon also, and in
all future erratum (when released).

Thanks H.J.
