Description hjl 2002-10-04 21:33:10 UTC 
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

# cat foo bar

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.
