Hope this is not a dupe. I sent this before I subscribed but it didn't seem
to go through.
The --preserve-root failsafe in chown, chmod, etc. does not exit when it
should. It prints a warning and continues to recurse. ROOT_DEV_INO_WARN
should pass a non-zero value as the first argument to error() to exit.
