I try to produce a minidump and a log file with Dr. Watson. A public
test case isn't possible, because we don't have a public cell.
I agree with you, that it make no sense to create such links. But our
software developer use scripts for creating links with absolute paths to
include and library directories. The results of some scripts are such
links with "../.." and "..". I also think, that when such links are
possible under Linux, it could also happen by other users.
The limit of 100 characters is really strange, but I did some test with
shorter links without problems.
When you have clients to test, I can do an install and check these
clients against our environment.

In particular, if you can place a live public test case that I can run
a client against it will make things much easier to track down.
Also, I would really like to understand the rationale for creating
a link that includes either ".." or "../..". Can you provide me an
example where this makes sense?
The limit of 100 characters seems very strange. The max length of a
target is 1024 characters.
Thank you.

Hello all,
we get some serious problems with file links in our environment.
We are using OpenAFS for Windows version 1.5.30 and Linux AFS-Servers
1.4.6.
When we create a file link under Linux with a pattern like
"PATH/../../PATH" and the path is longer than 100 characters, we get
an error on Windows "Permission denied". In a 64bit environment the
AFS-Client crashes with a message "OpenAFS Stopping due to error
(cm_scache.c:1783): cm_scache_t refCount 0." in the EventLog.
I did some tests with older versions. The result is, that the latest
version without the error is 1.5.21. I think, there is a problem in
the recursion detection feature in version 1.5.22, which was partly
fixed in 1.5.23 and 1.5.24.
Does the path have a pattern like "PATH/../PATH" there are no problems.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Regards,
Lars
