This test still fails for me.

I removed all the fail* and test* in the test directory, did a cvs update of
the entire tree, make clean && make all, rebuilt the test.

The only change I have in this tree is for fstat and constant inode numbers.
The test doesn't even contain the code for fstat, so I don't think that's the
problem.

Could you try a cvs update, clean and rebuild please? What other diffs do you
have in your tree?

Maybe the test "xsymlink" should take a drive specifier. It could then create
a cross-drive symlink to any file on that disk. E.g. c:/temp/foo ->
d:/whatever.

Thanks, bye, Rich =]
