"cp --version" is not telling the whole story.  You need to actually
compare the sources to see if anything changed.

In any case, it is not productive to try to look for the source
changes in order to debug a problem, in my experience.  It is much
more productive to debug the problem itself by stepping with a
debugger through the code.  It is possible that you will find that
some library function and not cp's code itself is causing the failure,
but knowing that is already a big step forward.

TIA
