Follow-up Comment #5, bug #51926 (project findutils):
In fact the error can occur even when you wouldn't expect it due to find's
arm-swapping optimizations:
$ ln -s loop loop
$ find -links 100 -xtype l
find: ‘./loop’: Too many levels of symbolic links
Even though -xtype appears guarded by the -links test, it's been re-ordered in
front of it and thus causes an error.
