    Problem Text
    This test may fail on all implementations because of a logic error.

    This test tries to nftw() walk a file hierarchy. One of the files
    in the hierarchy is the a symbolic link to itself.

    ../tmp/data/loop -> ./loop

    Since nftw() is doing the walk without setting the FTW_PHYS flag
    symbolic links are followed. This entry loops on itself until it
    generates an ELOOP error and the test fails.

    A call to int nftw(const char *path, int (*fn)(const

    depth, int flags) when FTW_MOUNT is not set shall
    report all files encountered.
