I really don't think you want that. Perhaps "ignore_not_a_dir_error".

It does defer it if can't stat() the directory. This covers the case of
NFS mount not present. Having had a successful stat(), it freezes if it
can't open the forward file, unless the error is "file does not exist".
I guess I should look at the results of the stat and see if it really is
a directory, and act at that point.
