This is why my patch does not rely on any supposition about is_symlink() being broken or not. It is independant of this as explained in my bug report. I think this problem really should be tackled with. It is nice to have a CMS that allows without too much effort to run with a hardened PHP/Apache configuration (I'm using suhosin, mod_security and PHP restrictions such as open_basedir and disabled_functions) and it should be nice to fix such tiny bugs that prevent a smooth run of _core_ API.
