There is a bug (a small one, yes) in the /usr/src/commands/mv.c command.
This seems to be he only command, which tries an execl only on the root
/bin directory, when using cp. Since I hate ram-disks (due to bad, non
reset resisdent and information loosing ones), I have nearly nothing in
/bin but in /usr/bin. mv then says: can not move ... A fix is included.
