Thank you for your report.  This is a bug and has been fixed with
newer versions of fileutils.  Unfortunately a version with the fix has
not been officially released as 4.1.  If you would like to try a test
beta release candidate for 4.1 then newer versions are available at
the following locations.

  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/fetish/fileutils-4.0.43.tar.gz
