        * Version 4.1.6.
 
+       * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't treat errno==ENOENT as a special case.
+       (same_file_ok): Detect a case that would have lead to the errno==ENOENT
+       condition above (and a misleading diagnostic), and return 0 so we give
+       a diagnostic about the source and destination being the same file.
+       (copy_internal): Use an explicit test for errno==EXDEV to detect
+       that rename has failed because source and destination are on
+       different devices.  This reverts part of a change from 1997-12-13,
+       and is to avoid letting a race condition evoke a bogus diagnostic.
+       Note that while POSIX has encouraged the errno==EXDEV test for
+       years, it was inadequate back in 1997.  I'm hoping that many
+       more systems have conforming support these days.
+       Reported by Michael Gaughen <mgaughen@polyserve.com>

        * src/shred.c (usage): Also mention Ext3.
        Suggestion from Göran Uddeborg.
