The coding probably doesn't consider the possibility of multiple paths
into a single directory, as afforded by the use of symlinks, at all.

"OK" is in the eye of the beholder, naturally.
Handling the case would likely be a feature-addition. The fastest
fix would be to not traverse symlinks, I suppose.
