7-stable dynamic libraries perhaps more agressive than 6 ?

[Julian Stacey]

Just asking this below out of interest (no insurmountable problem):
Is 7-stable dynamic executable scheme a little more demanding than 6 ?

I've been upgrading machines for some years with fairly careful
sequences of `mv' of trees pre positioned within same FS (to avoid
eg link breaks within /rescue & du explosion etc) & havent been
caught for years on shared libs, yet just been caught on 2 boxes,
moving from 7.0-RC1 to 7-Stable. (I know below is not the official
way but I had slow target hosts & all bins precompiled from another
host & ftp'd.)

Rest of post is a log illustrating 2 lines marked *** puzzling me.
& 2 lines === of work round.

	( /ST holds my new stable bins compiled on another box
	  /7R1 the older 7.0-RC1 bins from cdrom )
   cp `which mv` /mv
   pwd
   	/ST
   foreach i ( * )
   	foreach? /mv /$i /7R1/$i
   	foreach? /mv $i /$i
   	foreach? echo done $i
   	foreach? end
   done bin
   done boot
