That's the one, right above this comment ...

Be honest, this never compiled did it?

My confidence for these patches is really low right now, which is not
good for something asking to go in at this stage in the -rcX
development cycle.  There have been some delays due to review, so I'm
willing to be a little flexible on timelines and accept stuff this
week, but for the v4 patchset please provide before and after audit
logs for both hard and soft links both where CWD is the same as the
parent as well as different (eight logs total if I did the math
right).  You can include them in the 0/2 patch as it's probably a bit
much for the individual patches.
