I'm confused. I've been using those to determine when continue solving
symlinks and when to quit. I'm afraid it is the same story as with EMLINK,
which I was using to throw on link loop.

So if they are for hard links, I will drop this patch. But where should 
be specified maximum symlink count when resolving path? Could it be even
hardcoded?

I think some rest won't hurt after I have integrated symlinks.
