	Gnu-emacs behaves differently with links in Unix
files. Suppose, two files X and Y are linked. If I modify X, I intend
that Y should remain linked to X but not X~. But, I find that, Y
becomes linked to X~ instead of to X. Why should Gnu-emacs get a
new-inode for X instead of for X~ ?
	This is a serious problem as many sys-V based systems have
lots of linked files in /etc/rcx.d directories modifying at one place
doesn't reflect at the other.
