Public bug reported:
Version: 2.9.1
The primary symptom is resolving symlink fails w/ error "too many levels
of symbolic links".
My analysis showed that local_readlink() uses local_open_nofollow() to
open the file and then tries to read it. local_open_nofollow() then
tries to open the file w/ O_NOFOLLOW, which obviously fails if the
requested file is a symlink.
