Summary: regression: symlinks are created as hardlinks with --

Platform: x86
URL: http://rsync.samba.org
OS/Version: FreeBSD
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P3

hi. this refers to the official 2.6.7 release, no mods.
was working on verifying some older bugs and this one popped
up as new, it used to work ok. wanted to get it posted though
i've no patch. will gladly test any submitted.
regression: symlinks are created as hardlinks with --link-dest
the first run creates them erroneously as hardlinks.
a single repeat of the same command 'fixes' the mistake of the
first and should not be necessary.
the nth repeat of the same command does nothing because it's
now in sync.
by verbose example...
