I do care--I have a sync software (similar to rsync) which compares mtime and length. lstat needs do be done anyway so there are just two integer compares instead of two readlink and strcmp. This software "failes" after a "cp -RpP". If a patch is accepted I'd like to file a bug report with a patch. Carsten
