Comment 16 for bug 317781

I was just browsing the forums on Ubuntu ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1055176 ), where I read of a bug involving symbolic links. The bug is that if you delete a folder that is sylbolic link it will delete the contents of the folder as well as the symbolic link as if it were not a symbolic link.

Does this sound like it could have been the situation?
