what about a sub-directory that contains a symlink to ".." ?
or a directory that contains both:
./a/foo ? ../b
./b/foo ? ../a
or ...
My point is: there are lots of ways to get infinite recursions via
symlinks; hard-coding a check for one specific way seems like a
sub-optimal approach, because it leaves the other paths still present,
and introduces an unexpected/surprising asymmetry.
I'm not sure what the specific right way is to solve the problem you
identified, though.
