[New-bugs-announce] [issue10540] test_shutil fails on Windows after r86733

[Brian Curtin]

New submission from Brian Curtin <curtin at acm.org>:

My build slave shows a test failure at test_dont_copy_file_onto_link_to_itself. This happens because the implementation of _samefile in Lib/shutil.py (line 70) doesn't work for Windows hard links.

Patch on the way.
