*** System information ***
GNU coreutils 8.5
Ubuntu 10.10 32bits Ext4

*** Error description ***
$ sudo touch f; ln f g
ln: creating hard link `g' => `f': Operation not permitted

However, the following commands work:
$ sudo touch f2; sudo chmod a+w f2; ln f2 g

The first call to ln should be permitted too.
