Hi,
While building a test-suite for a module that crawls directories
containing symbolic links, I built a test directory which contains
the following structure:
root
|-- link -> subdir
`-- subdir
`-- updir -> ..
All of a sudden, 'prove -r' started hanging -- it's unable to handle
the circular symbolic links, and gets stuck in an infinite loop.
I've attached a patch for prove and Test::Harness::Utils.
Cheers,
Ammon
