I can reproduce it now.  I made a mistake when creating the symlinks
the first time, which is, I created them with tcsh.  Tcsh tends to
change relative paths using ".." components to absolute paths on the
command line.  Using plain relative paths, I now see what's going on.

But it'sa tricky problem.  I don't know how to fix it yet.  I'll
have to think about it, so please be patient.


Thanks,
Corinna
