At this point, I'm at do_read_directory (in unix/fs.cc) and wondering
if some things in there aren't a bit misplaced.  Why does it decide to
ignore broken symlinks, especially when the consumers are supposed to
remove them?  I dunno what zfs does, but having played with NFS and
AFS, I've learned to expect the unexpected...

Cheers,
Richard
