Re: "" as target of symlink kills translator

[Roland McGrath]

What about `ls -L ""'?  I believe that ought to do `stat("",&buf)',
which does the same file_name_lookup as your example program (but
with 0 instead of O_READ).  The `ls ""' you tried ought to do `lstat("",...)',
which does that with O_NOLINK.

You'll have to debug this.  You could try rpctrace to see what lookup RPCs
are happening, or just gdb /bin/ls.
