Bug in mv in Linux (RH9)

[Johan Glimming]

Dear GNU

For a year now I have noted that the mv command has had a bug with respect
to moving files from symbolically linked directories, e.g.

$ cd ~
$ mkdir a a/b
$ ln -s a/b b
$ echo > a/b/y
$ cd b
$ mv x ..              (or: cp x ..)

The problem here is that x now is in the directory ~/a rather
than ~ as one would expect, having entered b from ~.
