SubjectRe: More than 5 symlinks
UT> Linux-2.1.x and 2.2.0-prex only follow 5 symlinks.  This is not enough
UT> in some environments. I patch each kernel I install to follow 20
UT> symlinks which is the same as in SunOS and Solaris.

UT> I'd like to see this patch make it into 2.2.0

Careful! Since the kernel resolves symlinks with a recursive function, 5
was chosen as the max because that will not overflow the stack. 20 might
overflow it...
