* Previous versions of the sos package did not correctly handle the targets of symbolic links when copying files and directories into the report
* Under some circumstances "dangling" symbolic links could appear in the report directory structure
* The library routines dealing with file copying have been fixed to always copy symbolic link targets when a requested path contains a symbolic link
* The sosreport command now properly handles symbolic link targets and will always collect the target of links when available
Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field
accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team.
