Copying thousands of files (about 70GB) over ftp on local network resulted in more data being copied than is on the source. There was a recursive symlink in the source file system. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Use mc to connect to remote machine via ftp 2.Copy remote directory tree containing recursing symlink to local system Actual Results: Retrieve more data than existed in directory tree Expected Results: Retrieve as much data as was claimed in progress meter following directory scan Portage 2.1.10.11 (default/linux/amd64/10.0, gcc-4.5.3, glibc-2.13-r4,

Can you recreate minimal subtree with links which works incorrectly, tarball it and attach here?
And post your 'emerge --info app-misc/mc' please.
Please report this upstream using their ticket system: https://www.midnight-commander.org/wiki/NewTicket I did a brief search but couldn't find any similar open tickets. Feel free to re-open if we can do anything to help. Thanks :)
