+/* POSIX specifies SYMLOOP_MAX as the "Maximum number of symbolic
+   links that can be reliably traversed in the resolution of a
+   pathname in the absence of a loop."  This makes it a minimum that
+   we should certainly accept.  But it leaves open the possibility
+   that more might sometimes work--just not "reliably".
+
+   For example, Linux implements a complex policy whereby there is a
+   small limit on the number of direct symlink traversals (a symlink
+   to a symlink to a symlink), but larger limit on the total number of
+   symlink traversals overall.  Hence the SYMLOOP_MAX number should be
+   the small one, but the limit library functions enforce on users
+   should be the larger one.
+
+   So, we use the larger of the reported SYMLOOP_MAX (if any) and our
+   own constant MIN_ELOOP_THRESHOLD, below.  This constant should be
+   large enough that it never rules out a file name and directory tree
+   that the underlying system (i.e. calls to 'open' et al) would
+   resolve successfully.  It should be small enough that actual loops
