** Bug fixes
+ comm's new --check-order option would fail to detect disorder on any pair
+ of lines where one was a prefix of the other. For example, this would
+ fail to report the disorder: printf 'Xb\nX\n'>k; comm --check-order k k
+ [bug introduced in coreutils-7.0]
+
cp once again diagnoses the invalid "cp -rl dir dir" right away,
rather than after creating a very deep dir/dir/dir/... hierarchy.
The bug strikes only with both --recursive (-r, -R) and --link (-l).
