Bug#57726: mv from busybox enters an endless loop

[Santiago Vila <sanvila@unex.es>]

Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.2.6-2000-02-07
Severity: important

The "mv" command still behaves strangely: As in Bug #56478, I rename
root.bin as root.bin.gz, gunzip it and mount it under /mnt. Then I try:

cd /tmp
mkdir foo
cd foo
mkdir a
touch b
/mnt/bin/mv * a

and this makes `mv' to enter in an endless loop.

When I stop it by pressing Control+C, I have an `a' directory containing
an `a' directory, containing an `a' directory, containing an `a'
directory, containing an `a' directory...

I think this bug should be fixed before release.

Thanks.
