      Running "lfs project -p" on a dangling symlink or a symlink that refers to itself fails:

      # ln -s foo /myth/tmp/projid-900/symlink
# lfs project -p 1000 /myth/tmp/projid-900/symlink
lfs: failed to stat '/myth/tmp/projid-900/symlink': No such file or directory
# ln -s symlink3 /myth/tmp/projid-900/symlink3
# lfs project -p 1000 /myth/tmp/projid-900/symlink3
lfs: failed to stat '/myth/tmp/projid-900/symlink3': Too many levels of symbolic links

      It should be possible to fix this by using open(O_NOFOLLOW) to open the symlink.
