I get lastest SOS 4.0 Linux clients.

When i try to import mine Linux project on SOS i get some issues.

Mine project have few hardlinks and softlinks.
When i made "Add files" to project SOS ressolve links and doesn't import
links  - it import files or folders. 
(One of this link are to /usr/src/linux/2.4.25 and SOS add whole linux
kernel. LOL)

Here is simple demonstration.
As you can see files there are only libvgagl.so.1.4.3 and
libvga.so.1.4.3
All other files (libvgagl.so, libvgagl.so.1, libvga.so, libvga.so.1)
are links to existing files. SOS threat links as files and it import all
as files. This was incorrect.

On this code are famous link to source of kernel.
SOS threat 'build' as directory and act on link as directory.

links.
