Playing around with the latest mv checkin,
I noticed another corner case:
Create a file 'f', a symlink 'l' to it, and
then a hardlink 's' to that symlink:
$ touch f && ln -s f l && ln l s && ls -ogi
total 0
6444 -rw-r--r-- 1 0 Feb 1 08:52 f
6462 lrwxrwxrwx 2 1 Feb 1 08:52 l -> f
6462

Thanks, can you please try the attached patch?
You can apply it by running the shell commands:
cd lib
patch < vxfs-patch.txt
I'll CC: this to bug-gnulib as it appears to be a Gnulib bug.
Thanks.
acl: fix infinite loop on Solaris 1

I find it overkill to change the code for HP-UX and NonStop systems
when the report is about Solaris. Also I think the structure of the loop
is not the problem; it is the code's reaction to
acl("x", ACE_GETACL, 4, 0x3432A16E0)
