If I have a file /a/a.c and do ln -s /a/a.c /b/b1.c, then ln /b/b1.c /b/b2.c
(and also /etc/link) creates /b/b2.c as a hard link to /a/a.c and not as
I would expect to /b/b1.c.  Shouldn't I be able to have more than one (hard)
link to a file that happens to be a symbolic link?  If no, then why not?
