 I've encountered this as well. I think the fix would be to change the =
 miss() function in verify.c to use lchown (and possibly =
 lchmod/lchflags?) instead of chown/chmod/chflags when p->type =3D=3D =
 F_LINK. It already uses lchown when *creating* the symlink, so this =
 would be a sensible symmetry. Something along the lines of the following =
 patch maybe:
