cfservd changed broke soft link access

I am not certain if it is this change (178)

http://svn.iu.hio.no/viewcvs/trunk/src/cfservd.c?rev=178&r1=170&r2=178

Or this change (169)

http://svn.iu.hio.no/viewcvs/trunk/src/cfservd.c?rev=169&r1=167&r2=169

When I upgraded to 2.1.18 to test the cfservd memory leak fixes my
client stopped working.  I now get this.

cfengine:: Checksum comparison replaced by ctime: files not regular
cfengine:: /var/cfengine/inputs -> /var/cfengine/inputs
cfengine:: image exists but destination type is silly
(file/dir/link doesn't match)
cfengine:: source=/var/cfengine/inputs, dest=/var/cfengine/inputs

The server has /var/cfengine/inputs that is a soft link to
/usr/local/sysnav/conf/sysNav/cfengine2.

Can you describe in better detail the nature of the change?  I suppose
I can just use a hardlink from now on.

Who know it might not even be a fix in cfservd.c but something in the
copying part of the code.

I found this thread, and think it might be related:
