I was adding -s/--symbolic-link support to busybox cp when I noticed a
bug with -r/-a. Test case:
mkdir -p test/out
cd test
busybox cp -a * out/
Will never return until we run out of open files or similar.
Coreutils cp on the other hand will error with "cannot copy a directory,
`out', into itself, `out'". Patch attached.
