While trying to make a simple customization to the latest distribution
cd (add console="comconsole" to boot/loader.conf), the following four
sets of cross-linked files were found (pruned output from "ls -ilR
/cdrom"; isoinfo(8) from sysutils/cdrtools produces similar):

15005 -r--r--r--  2 root  wheel      0 May  8 03:05 dumpdates
15005 -r--r--r--  2 root  wheel    142 May  8 03:05 fbtab
83266 -r--r--r--  2 root  wheel     0 May  8 03:01 locale
83266 -r--r--r--  2 root  wheel    31 May  8 03:01 mm.tmac
83269 -r--r--r--  2 root  wheel     0 May  8 03:01 se_locale
83269 -r--r--r--  2 root  wheel    97 May  8 03:01 se_ms.cov
99056 -r--r--r--  2 root  wheel     0 May  8 03:05 utmp
99056 -r--r--r--  2 root  wheel  18425 May  8 03:04 Makefile.dist

After tar'ing the cd contents over to disk, and "diff -r" uncovering the
discrepancies in the copy (the second file of each set was now 0 bytes),
had to manually delete and re-copy the four truncated files before
making the desired change, and mkisofs(8) and burncd(8).

Maybe this is a one-off, or perhaps a simple change could be made to the
release cd mastering process to avoid this in the future.
