I updated to star 1.5a68 but it runs into a different problem now.
With "star -copy -acl source destination" it works fine but at some
point, after copying a few dozen gigabytes, it pauses without printing
any errors and sits there until I manually interrupt it. By the way, I
was doing this copy on a live file system to estimate how long it will
take to do this copy in single user mode.
