--- Comment #2 from Thomas Tempelmann <tempelm...@gmail.com> --- I investigated this. Turns out it's rather simple, and probably easy to reproduce: It has nothing to do with the "z:" name. Instead, it's about a symlink pointing back to its own parent dir, causing an endless recursion that way. Now, what's the verdict of dealing with these? I mean, there are a lot of cmdline tools on Unix and Linux that perform recursive directory traversion. They all should be able to deal with this, shouldn't they? And some apparently do. I wonder if that's those that use a special traversal function which would handle this case (for macOS/BSD, there's `fts_open`, for example? If you traverse "by hand", you'll have to look at the symlink and determine whether it leads to a recursion, right? What's your take on this? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/pcre-dev
