	FreeBSD 2.2-960501-SNAP i386

>Description:

	If /tmp/aaa is a link to /usr/tmp/aaa
	(lrwxrwxrwt  1 bin  bin  12 Aug 21 16:53 /tmp/aaa@ -> /usr/tmp/aaa)
	doing a 'mv /usr/tmp/aaa /tmp/aaa' removes /usr/tmp/aaa,
	but /tmp/aaa is still a link to /usr/tmp/aaa.

>How-To-Repeat:

        tele80> ls -lF /tmp/aaa
        lrwxrwxrwt  1 bin  bin  12 Aug 21 16:53 /tmp/aaa@ -> /usr/tmp/aaa

        tele80> ls -lF /usr/tmp/aaa
        -rw-------  1 olear  wheel  48 Aug 21 16:59 /usr/tmp/aaa

        tele80> mv /usr/tmp/aaa /tmp/aaa

        tele80> ls -lF /tmp/aaa
        lrwxrwxrwt  1 bin  bin  12 Aug 21 16:53 /tmp/aaa@ -> /usr/tmp/aaa

        tele80> cat /tmp/aaa
        cat: /tmp/aaa: No such file or directory

        tele80> ls -lF /usr/tmp/aaa
        ls: /usr/tmp/aaa: No such file or directory
