Relative symlinks can go into an infinite loop

Closed this issue · 3 comments

OSXAuditor will get stuck in a loop if there are relative symlinks that can cause a loop:

Happens with iDVD.app for me too.

Any fixes for this yet? How can I help get this issue addressed and fixed? I can't get a clean run from this tool yet and would really like to test it out.

Should be fixed. Symbolic links are not followed anymore.
