Charles - your patch will get over a build issue on platforms where 
O_NOFOLLOW isn't supported but will mean that NOFOLLOW is ignored at 
runtime. In order to allow for this it will require changes in several 
places so that UOE is thrown as expected. I'm on vacation this week but 
will reply next week with more details.
