I just received an update on my report ( rdar://8005841 ).  It has
been marked (surprise, surprise) as a duplicate of rdar://7569890.
Conveniently, that report is available on OpenRadar (
http://openradar.appspot.com/7569890 ).

I do find it surprising that this was only discovered in January of
this year.  Did TimeMachine properly backup hardlinks under Leopard?
This seems doubtful.

Anyway, I figured an update would be beneficial to anyone who was interested.
