According to Corinna Vinschen on 12/12/2008 7:58 AM:
I don't think it's the right way to special case this for Cygwin in
kpathsea. This isn't exactly a Cygwin issue. The right thing to do
would be to change the test in a generic fashion from
if (st_nlink > 2)
to
if (st_nlink != 2)
More generally, it is possible to optimize to spot the number of
subdirectories when st_nlink >= 2. The point is that the optimization is
invalid if st_nlink < 2, on any file system (not just cygwin).
Thanks. I've sent a revised patch to the texlive developers
(http://tug.org/pipermail/tlbuild/2008q4/000460.html). Cygwin's tetex
maintainer might need to apply a similar patch.
