Hi,
I believe the following script demonstrates that readlink cannot
always canonicalize paths. It may be possible to create a simpler
demonstration of the bug, but I could not trivially do so.
Thanks!

ln -s a1/a2 /tmp/a0/a2

ln -s /tmp/a0/a2/a3/a4/a5 /tmp/c0/b3/b4/a5
The problem is that we are crossing the /tmp/a0/a2 symlink twice, so
canonicalize_filename_mode thinks

Thanks for the report and the nice test case.
I have code that's a work in
Modern terminals support 256 colors. It would be great if ls --color
could take advantage of the higher number of colors to improve the
way things are displayed.
The 256 available colors can be seen by running the 256color2.pl
script that comes with xterm, or by running
env TERM=xterm-256color
