Hello,

given the following mtree specification:

	/set type=file mode=0644 nlink=1 flags=none
	. type=dir mode=0755 nlink=2
		file1
		file2
	..

in a file 'spec' and a matching filesystem tree in directory 'dir':

	$ ls -al dir
	total 8
	drwxr-xr-x  2 jukka  jukka  512 Dec 24 16:12 ./
	drwx------  8 jukka  jukka  512 Dec 24 16:14 ../
	-rw-r--r--  1 jukka  jukka    0 Dec 24 15:52 file1
	-rw-r--r--  1 jukka  jukka    0 Dec 24 16:12 file2

running 'mtree -f spec -p dir -U' prints no output (as expected).
Commenting out 'file1' in the specification and running the command
again prints:

	$ mtree -f mt.test -p dir -U 
	extra: file1

as expected. However, commenting out 'file2' as well, the command
prints nothing:

	$ mtree -f mt.test -p dir -U 
	$

Seems to be a bug, isn't it?


Cheers, Jukka
