This is what I did.

1. created a Dir /temp/test1 and created another /temp/test2

2. copied a file"blabla' into /temp/test2

3. created a link from 
'/temp/test2 in /temp/test1 'ln -s /temp/test2/blabla /temp/test1'

4. issued a cp /temp/test1/blabla /temp/test2 and received the following;

/ $ cp /temp/test1/blabla /temp/test2
cp: cannot stat `/temp/test1/blabla': Too many levels of symbolic links

I also received the same when I tried the reverse.

/ $ cp /temp/test2/blabla /temp/test1
cp: cannot stat `/temp/test1/blabla': Too many levels of symbolic links

I checked the files and nothing seems to be wrong with them.  All information 
is complete.  So the only logical conclusion I can draw about my system is it 
will not allow me to copy a file that is symbolically linked to itself.
