Bug Description
Binary package hint: emacs22
I'm using Ubuntu Karmic with GNU Emacs 22.2.1.
So, I want to create a hard link to some text file, say, "somefile" with ln or link command:
~$ echo hello > somefile
~$ ln somefile somefile-link
~$ cat somefile
hello
~$ cat somefile-link
hello
After editing and saving "somefile" with emacs22, I get this:
~$ cat somefile
bye-bye!
~$ cat somefile-link
hello
As you can see, emacs have broken the link between two files.

i think, it's all about this:)
~$ ls -i somefile*
283 somefile 280 somefile~ 280 somefile-link
