hardlink giving out .lnk?

[Julio Costa]

Something strange... at least to me.
STC:

/tmp$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 PT00062412 1.7.0(0.214/5/3) 2009-10-03 14:33 i686 Cygwin
/tmp$ ls -l /dev/log
srw-rw-rw- 1 SYSTEM root 53 Oct  9 23:12 /dev/log
/tmp$ ln /dev/log log
/tmp$ ls -l
total 1
srw-rw-rw- 2 SYSTEM root 53 Oct  9 23:12 log.lnk

HUH? .lnk?? This is a **hard link**. And even if it was a symbolic,
there's no more .lnk, unless we ask explicitely, right?

FYI, I can do a ln -s log.lnk log, and it still works (eg., with
logger), AFAICS.
But this is probably not the intended way of working.
