Sorry, the last workaround with fopen() is not working better. Same bug.

Well this basic workaround is to replace file_get_contents($symlink) with :
$fh = fopen($symlink, 'r');
$raw = fread($fh, filesize($symlink));
fclose($symlink);

Same problem for this user : http://sixohthree.com/1517/php-and-the-realpath-
cache
He seems right telling that the cache is not thread safe.

Well, i'm afraid I can only reproduce this bug when it's used through Apache.
Testing is hard because it does not appear at the first time.
Download the file "test.php" from this URL :
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/62007491/test.php
To init the test, in the same directory that "test.php" please create a
directory "writable", writable by Apache ("mkdir writable && chmod 777
writable"
for testing should be okay).
1. Run the script with the $flag = true. This should create 2 files in the
writable directory, the "content" file, plus the symlink file.
2. Execute the script multiple times (this is important) by pressing F5. No
error should occur.
3. Now Run the same script with the $flag = false. This should delete this
"content" and "symlink" file.
4. Execute the script multiple times (this is important)
5. Then Run the same process from the step 1 to 4. Try again until you see that
the step 1 ($flag = true) fails with :
----------------------------------------
Warning: symlink(): File exists in /var/www/html/test/test.php on line 37
islink:
Warning: linkinfo(): No such file or directory in /var/www/html/test/test.php
on
line 41
linkinfo: -1
Warning: readlink(): No such file or directory in /var/www/html/test/test.php
on
line 42
readlink:
php version : 5.4.6 realpath_cache_size (if available) : 16K
Array ( [0] => /var/www/html/test/writable/content_42 )
----------------------------------------
=> As you can see in the above output, the symlink() fails with "File exists"
but the symlink actually does not exist !!
Hope this helps.
