<div class="markdown_content"><p>os.stat() throws an exception when applied to a dead <br /> symlink (to a no longer existing file).</p> <p>DESIRED: Catch exception (, report problem) and continue <br /> scan.</p> <p>ENCOUNTERED: On Cygwin platform.<br /> Cygwin provides a directory /bin that is also mounted <br /> as /usr/bin. Some package install relative symlinks <br /> in /usr/bin. When processing the symlink in /bin, it does not <br /> point to an existing file.</p></div>
