Hello,

I tried the last snapshot (not announced) dated 20200403, and the new symbolic links don’t seem to work properly:


% mkdir test
% cd test
% mkdir foo
% cp /usr/bin/ls.exe foo/ls.exe
% foo/ls
foo
% foo/ls.exe
foo
% ln -s foo bar
% bar/ls
bar/ls: Permission denied.
% bar/ls.exe
bar/ls.exe: Permission denied.
%

I’m on Windows 7, on a ntfs disk (binary,posix=0,user,nomount,auto).

Regards,

Denis Excoffier.
