James Carman commented on VFS-196:
----------------------------------

There were some changes to the logic in trunk from when I created this patch.  
The trunk had:
\\
\\
{code}
final FTPFile[] tmpChildren = client.listFiles(relPath);
if (tmpChildren == null)
{
    children = null;
}
else if (tmpChildren.length == 0)
{
    children = EMPTY_FTP_FILE_MAP;
}
else
{
    children = new TreeMap();
    ...
{code}
\\
and my code has:
\\
\\
{code} 
final String path = fileInfo != null && fileInfo.isSymbolicLink() ? 
getFileSystem().getFileSystemManager().resolveName(getParent().getName(), 
fileInfo.getLink() ).getPath() : relPath;
final FTPFile[] tmpChildren = client.listFiles(path);
if (tmpChildren == null || tmpChildren.length == 0)
{
    children = EMPTY_FTP_FILE_MAP;
}
else
{
    children = new TreeMap();
    ...
{code}
\\
I don't know if the null case is handled correctly or not.  Please advise.
