This is a note suggesting this wishlist item be upgraded. Bug 247222
suggested that mserv stop following symlinks because of the problems
that could occur. Ideally the program should notice symlinks and not
dereference the same symlink twice, but failing that it is probably
better not to design the program to make up for the failings of an
individual filesystem. The use of symlinks inherits the problems of
circular references by default, but crippling programs because of these
fundamental truths would result in significantly less powerful software.
