It looks like we've got kernel patches now to prevent core dumps from
following symbolic links which is excellent, but has anyone looked at
committing OpenBSD's fts(3) patch?  See: 

    http://www.securityfocus.com/templates/archive.pike?list=1&date=1999-08-22&msg=199908271534.JAA27164@xerxes.cs.colorado.edu
    http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/lib/libc/gen/fts.c?r1=1.18&r2=1.19

It looks like integrating that patch would allow us to put this entire fts
hole behind us for good.
