Unix Symbolic links failing ("ls -s realfile linkedas") (PR#2382)
How are you `reading from' the files? We do need a reproducible example to have a hope of fixing this.

That's two versions old already.
OS: SunOS 5.8 Submission from: (NULL) (129.176.151.124) I am using an R-package that reads from files if the files are physically in the startup directory, but fails to read if I use symbolically linked files as in "ln -s real_file linked_as_file" I did not see this listed in the existing bugs.
If it were, it might well have been fixed since 1.5.1!
