Hi!
 
I 
don't know if this behavior is an NT portation issue, or an issue with the base 
GNU tools. 
 
If I 
issue:
 
cp 
./test.c .
 
I end 
up with a 0 length file!
 
I know 
this may be a silly use of the cp command, but this exact sequence happens 
because of the rules I have in a Makefile.  Under unix, cp will complain 
that the files are the same, and not do anything.
