VM Bug when mail files are physically linked

Hello!

	In a few cases I have a single mail file accessible under two
different names, e.g.:

-rw-r--r--   2 24564 Jul 25 16:51 mail/burgheim
-rw-r--r--   2 24564 Jul 25 16:51 mail/Herbert

When I visit one of these files with VM and update the file, then it
disconnects the physical link between the two names.  This happens
eventhough I have both variables, backup-by-copying-when-linked and
backup-by-copying-when-mismatch values set to t.

Outside of VM, this causes physical links to be saved and a new backup
copy is created in a ~ terminated name file.  VM unconveniently
unhooks the files in question.

	Please do not reply directly to me, but use the
addresses below in my signature.  This is to thwart those mean SPAMmers!

	Sincerely,

	--Ralph
