** Bug fixes
+ When `cp -RL' encounters the same directory more than once in the
+ hierarchy beneath a single command-line argument, it no longer confuses
+ them with hard-linked directories.
+
fts-using tools (chmod, chown, chgrp, du) no longer fail due to
a double-free bug -- it could be triggered by making a directory
inaccessible while e.g., du is traversing the hierarchy under it.
