Hi,
i can reproduce the problem with the current development
version of xorriso.
Regrettably i cannot just use stat() instead of lstat() because
i need to obtain absolute paths when inserting files into the
ISO image model. This is because the working directory may change.
So i will have to explore where my algorithm deviates from
Linux man path_resolution and what other operating systems
do in this situation.
(I dimly remember to have seen a ../ symlink problem with
Cygwin on Windows 7. It seems to follow non-Linux semantics.)
Probably not only link resolution is affected but also the
interpretation of input paths which contain "..".
Have a nice day :)
Thomas
