Subject: FileUtils Bug in 1.8.0

Does the current installation of Ruby have this problem?

> cat test.rb

require 'fileutils'

Dir.mkdir("fred")
Dir.mkdir("neighbor")

FileUtils.ln_s("../neighbor","fred/upandover")

FileUtils.rm_rf("fred")

> ruby -v test.rb 
ruby 1.8.0 (2003-08-04) [sparc-solaris2.8]
