        This s700 9.x patch along with kernel patch PHKL_3550 or
        PHKL_3561 will fix the symlinks permissions problem in 9.x
        on s700.  This patch also contains the fix for the core_dump
        problem when doing "find . | cpio -o "

        PHCO_3452:
        S700 9.X cpio correctly sets owner/group on symlink

        PHCO_2832:
        cpio correctly sets owner/group on symlinks instead of
        target
        cpio -p of filesystem does not copy "old" files on 9.0x
        directory permissions not updated using cpio -o then cpio -i
        cpio doesn't copy symlinks pointing to directories.
        cpio(1): the -v option reports CDF's differently from what's
        stored.
        cpio is not able to find filenames because of trailing
        whitespace
        cpio "cannot stat" messages don't provide enough information
        "Filetype" variable in code is of useless type (too short)
