Hi all,

I'm a long-time users of fossil. 
Recently I upgraded from fossil 1.35 to fossil 2.4, and found the following 
problem about symlinks. It seems that the allow-symlinks settings doesn't work 
properly.

Steps to reproduce:

1. fossil init /tmp/x.fossil
2. mkdir /tmp/x; cd /tmp/x; fossil open ../x.fossil
3. fossil settings allow-symlinks 1
4. ln -s /proc/mounts; ln -s /proc
5. fossil add *

In fossil 1.35 I'll get.
ADDED  mount
ADDED  proc

In fossil 2.4 this will cause it to spin around until it exhausts all memory.
I tested using official fossil Linux x64 2.4 binary.

____________________

Follow-up: I tested with earlier versions available on download page.
Fossil 2.2 and fossil 2.3 does not exhibit this problem.
Only fossil 2.4 has it.

cheers!
