Bug in autosave/recover function?

[Ulli Horlacher <framstag@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On a remote machine I edited with jed a text-file (IDS.txt) when the link
went down. 

No problem, I tought, I can use recover_file() within jed.

But when I logged in again and called jed with that file I saw no message:
"Autosave file is newer. Use ESC-X recover_file. (IDS.txt)" 
as expected.

The problem is: I edited the file via a symbolic link!

lanldap1:~: l IDS.txt
lRWX               - 06-07-05 18:11 IDS.txt -> /opt/doc/IDS/IDS.txt

lanldap1:~: jed IDS.txt

In this case jed does not offer the recover-function. 

Only when I call jed with the direct file name:

lanldap1:~: l /opt/doc/IDS/*IDS*
-RW-          16,086 08-01-04 17:21 /opt/doc/IDS/#IDS.txt#
-RW-          15,331 08-01-02 17:12 /opt/doc/IDS/IDS.txt
-RW-          14,917 08-01-02 16:25 /opt/doc/IDS/IDS.txt~

lanldap1:~: jed /opt/doc/IDS/IDS.txt

then I get: 
"Autosave file is newer. Use ESC-X recover_file. (IDS.txt)"

Is this a bug?

I am using JED B0.99.17-135 on UNIX.
