It should be immediately backed out.  System security now under risk for 
admins who use symlinks to /tmp or /var/mail f.e.  Proper way of fixing will 
be to cvs add strtofflags file to mtree subdir. Why to fix the bug by 
breaking in another place?

BTW, I even was not asked before my changes are backed out, it is very bad 
style for commiter that should be avoided.
