Actually, on platforms where SYMLOOP_MAX is undefined (doesn't Hurd fall into this category?), then the only way to get ELOOP is via a true loop, and not a long symlink chain. Maybe it is worth conditionally filtering on ELOOP based on the value of SYMLOOP_MAX? - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
