Well, I'm not certain, about what kind of recursive situation you're 
talking about. I tried the ftw() example given in docs, and it revealed
another bug, not related with that above - it uses _chmod() to detect if
path is a directory and I didn't make _chmod(), _open(), _any_dos_call_wrapper()
functions see symlinks on purpose. Below is a patch for ftw.c, applies cleanly
with or without first patch.

BTW, how could DOS store `current directory' itself? IMHO in global
variable.

Sounds good. So let the symlinks be 376 bytes in size (just not the
power of 2).
