random832 added the comment: Wouldn't the "symlink infinite loop" case be better handled by making it track where it's already been? This can be done by inode and dev number on Unix; I'm not sure what equivalent exists on Windows (though symlinks are uncommon on Windows) but you could fall back on realpath.
