 Fixed timezone bug.  Hopefully this is the last one.  (Thanks to
 Randall Nortman for bug report.)
 
+************** Serious bug fix ******************
+If a directory in the source directory was replaced by certain
+symlinks, then if later backups failed they could cause files in the
+directory that the symlink pointed to to be deleted!  Much thanks to
+Alistair Popple for pointing this bug out and providing a test case.
