Synopsis: Moving a file to it's link completely removes file

State-Changed-From-To: open-analyzed

State-Changed-When: Thu Sep 26 17:13:11 PDT 1996
State-Changed-Why: 

This is a general cross-device link problem. mv(1) does not
check the target if the source and the target are on
different disks. mv(1) should unlink the target before copying 
if the target is a symbolic link. Bruce?
