/* POSIX specifies SYMLOOP_MAX as the "Maximum number of symbolic
links that can be reliably traversed in the resolution of a
pathname in the absence of a loop." This makes it a minimum that
we should certainly accept. But it leaves open the possibility
that more might sometimes work--just not "reliably".
For example, Linux implements a complex policy whereby there is a
small limit on the number of direct symlink traversals (a symlink
to a symlink to a symlink), but larger limit on the total number of
symlink traversals overall. Hence the SYMLOOP_MAX number should be
the small one, but the limit library functions enforce on users
should be the larger one.
So, we use the larger of the reported SYMLOOP_MAX (if any) and our
own constant MIN_ELOOP_THRESHOLD, below. This constant should be
large enough that it never rules out a file name and directory tree
that the underlying system (i.e. calls to 'open' et al) would
resolve successfully. It should be small enough that actual loops
are detected without a huge number of iterations. */
