Todd Lipcon commented on HADOOP-6378:
-------------------------------------

I have a broken symlink in my home dir (an emacs lock file):
{noformat}
t...@todd-laptop:~$ ls -l .#caltrain.html 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 todd todd 21 2009-04-08 19:51 .#caltrain.html -> 
[email protected]
{noformat}

listStatus fails with the following exception (modified FsShell to actually 
show stack):
{noformat}
t...@todd-laptop:~/git/hadoop-common$ ./bin/hadoop fs -ls /home/todd/
java.io.FileNotFoundException: File file:/home/todd/.#caltrain.html does not 
exist.
