This is a follow-up to Martin's mail of yesterday where he pointed out
that the implementations of readSymbolicLink are doing the permission
check by calling AccessController.checkPermission directly. The bug
means the security manager doesn't get a chance to grant the permission.
Here's the webrev to fix this (and also expand the CheckPermissions test
to cover this case, the lack of the a test case is how this one slipped
through).
