1. cp -r a a
cp: cannot copy a directory, `a', into itself, `a/a'
as per this the it is not allowable to copy a into a.But its doing
2. cp -s b ../
cp: `../b': can make relative symbolic links only in current directory
its a symbolic link and should not restrict to current directory.
i have checked it in kernel 2.6.21.5 and 3.04 .Please check it and let 
me know if its corrected or not.
Thanks and Regards
