I confirm, I had a dangling symlink in one of the subdirectories linked, that's
why I didn't noticed it.

That made me think, try this:

$ cd ~/Maildir
$ ln -s ../Maildir .symlink_loop_of_love
$ buffy

okay, maybe this can be a non-bug since the user would shoot himself in the foot
with symlink loops, running find ~/Maildir -follow notices the loop
OTOH I find sensible to visit subfolders only to depth 1

thanks,
filippo
