+
+       Improve the efficiency (and in one case, correctness) of code
+       that reads symlinks.
+
+       * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't use alloca, as it can mess up
+       royally if the link length is long (e.g., GNU/Hurd).  Use
+       xreadlink instead, it's safer.  Don't bother to read the link if
+       it's the wrong size.  Add a FIXME because this area is a bit murky
+       and undocumented.

        * src/env.c (main): Prefer the notation `STREQ (a, b)'
