Lucky you :-)

I have got a problem with hard links. Like the ones created by perl:

-rwxr-xr-x   3 root  wheel     7536 Aug 19 18:55 perl
-rwxr-xr-x   3 root  wheel     7536 Aug 19 18:55 perl5
-rwxr-xr-x   3 root  wheel     7536 Aug 19 18:55 perl5.20.3

Only perl is created, perl5 and perl5.20.3 not.

I noticed the same with freeze. Only fcat is created under 
/usr/local/bin. There should be 3 hard links too.

Postfix caused me some problems too. For example qmgr (hard link again) 
was missing under /usr/local/libexec/postfix.
