Read the mail entitled "[PATCH 0/16] Assorted patches".

It seems to have been resent once, 7 days after you:
	http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/7/15/231

At that time, I had experienced strange copy failures ("No such file or 
directory") while the directory being copied was not modified. With the 
patch, I at least got EINTR instead of ENOENT, which I think made cp 
think once more to retry.
