Does the above occur with the snapshot?  How can I reproduce it?

Ok, in that case I lean back a bit.

But the above ksh output is weird if it occurs under the snapshot.  What
I did in Cygwin was to fix the tests for a valid path under /proc/$PID/fd.
The next path component must be a valid descriptor as returned by the
application $PID.  A trailing slash and more path components result in
replacing the path with the content of the symlink and the trailing path
compenents and restarting the path evaluation.  In my subsequent testing
I was unable to enter wrong paths, so the above surprises me a bit.
