Konqueror deletes file when copy overwrites link

[Eric Clifford]

I discovered this the hard way last night in KDE 3.1.4-4 Red Hat 9.0
Konqueror 3.1-12.  It is reproduceable and confirmed on someone
elses box. I have no way of testing other versions right now.

Problem:
If you have 2 directorys (dir1 and dir2), file foo.txt in dir1, and a symlink 
in dir2 pointing to dir1/foo.txt

Konqueror doesn't check to see if the source and destination file are 
the same file when you  [drag-and-drop > copy here] the file foo.txt into 
dir2 and select [Overwrite] the symlink file. The result is the file foo.txt
gets overwritten with nothing (zero byte size), you loose the original file.

in Konqueror, drag-and-drop file dir1/foo.txt and overwrite 
dir2/foo.text (the symlink) as per above
