Hie, I'm french, so excuse me if my english is not perfect.

I've been using cygwin/Xfree since the 4.1 version of Xfree on Windows NT4 SP5,
and I enjoy its product. I try the new version which package cygwin and
Xfree 4.2.0.1 in the same setup. And I have a problem with "ln" command.

The symbolic link is ok, but not the physical link. In the old version,
I hadn't the problem. I don't know how cygwin simulate physical link,
but it's not the problem.

Here is an example of my test :

$ cd /bin
$ ls -l df*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 Admin    Aucun       39936 Jun 15  2001 df.exe

I'm trying to link the "df" command :

$ ln df.exe df1.exe
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

$ cat ln.exe.sta*

Have a good day.
