``chown -h owner symlink'' did not set the symlink's owner
if the file the symlink points to already had that owner:

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root ru 5 May 31 14:14 alink -> afile
# ./chown -h -v nobody alink
# ls -l alink afile
-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody ru 0 May 31 14:14 afile
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root ru 5 May 31 14:14 alink -> afile

This would not cause an overflow, as near as I can tell, because we

* Implement cpio compatibility mode when pax is invoked as cpio
* Extend tar compatibility mode to cover many of the GNU tar single-letter
options (bzip2 mode, aka -y/-j is not present in OpenBSD). When
invoked as tar, pax is now full-featured enough for use by the ports
collection to extract distfiles and create packages.
* Many bug fixes to the operation of pax and the tar compatibility modes
* Code fixes for things like correct string buffer termination.
I tried to preserve existing FreeBSD fixes to this utility; please let me
