Re: tidy (still?) broken

[Jeff Sheltren]

I remember having this same problem a while ago, and I believe I had to
patch the source code to make it work the way I thought it should (ie.
Remove symlinks).  Unfortuantly, I don't think I have the patch handy (and
it was for an older version anyway), but I was under the impression that
Mark had fixed this in newer versions...

Do you have the same results if you change your script to use 'links=tidy'?
