The end of this new sentence confuses me more then simply "race condition" in the original, but I do agree that "make it circumventable" could use some work. "Omitting this option should not be considered a security measure, because there remains a race condition in the span of time between checking that a path component is not a symlink and then subsequently using that path component."
