Hi Sheldon,
In compare.c, how about changing
if (s->flags & F_SLINK && strcmp(cp = rlink(name), s->slink)) {
to
if (s->flags & F_SLINK && strcmp(cp = rlink((p->fts_accpath), s->slink))
{
readlink() in rlink() fails because the cwd is /, and name is a bare filename.
p->fts_accpath is the relative pathname through which the file called name can
be reached. I saw the same thing with /etc/malloc.conf -> aj, and this fix
seems to work around the problem. Btw, I sent this to Gerhard Sittig as well.
Do tell me if I'm way off base here :)
Cheers,
