I meant to respond to this as well, just in case it causes anyone some
confusion.  The recipe you note above will indicate that the two versions
of the command share the same inode but that doesn't indicate that there
are two commands that are hardl-inked.  You can see that there is only
1 link to this command with 'stat cat'.
