Hi,

        I've found out much to my sorrow that the latest
ac's do not handle symlinks over nfs well.
For example, I get that kind of results :

lrwxrwxrwx 1 nim cvs 92 oct 4 11:47
release.xml -> ../antbui
ld/init/release.xml?Q¿*U!±M~?Wè¢?0>Â%Ó?ª¯ô?ºªú]¡Úvä??®?§JO#b±?µøGé\?î1Ä?ü«B?´;??
ÐHT
lrwxrwxrwx 1 nim cvs 387 oct 4 11:47 xml
-> ../antbuild/init/
xml£ú¢?ÛÕw?zê$ªEµ¶%Jº4­<?BÃÊY`L?è>=1Íî>Å?¹???§ÇÐ?ñú¸¬»??ÈÚ?¬q]?4ìG??Ã?´??è:»J]»ò

after a
[nim@ulysse ant]$ln -s ../antbuild/init/*xml .
[nim@ulysse ant]$ls -l

This is over an nfs mounted directory, server and client
2.4.40-ac4 nfs3, server-side fs : ext2

That's pretty ugly isn't it ?
