Re: ange-ftp appears to have trouble with symbolic links to directories

[Andrew Koenig]

One more thing: I have just noticed that the problem does not occur when
the symbolic link begins with ..

So, for example:

        $ cd /tmp
        $ rm -f xx
        $ ln -s /home xx

If I now try to use emacs to read /localhost:/tmp/xx, it fails.

        $ rm xx
        $ ln -s ../home xx

Now it succeeds, with or without the patch.
