* Fixed a bug in both cp and mv preventing 'cp foo/README bar'
type commands (file in a directory to another directory)
from working.
+ * Fixed a logger bug that caused garbage to be written to the syslog
+ (unless you used busybox syslog, which hid the bug). Thanks
+ to Alex Holden <alex@linuxhacker.org> for the fix.
