Hello,

the doc of `file-symlink-p' says:

This function returns t when given the name of a symlink that
points to a nonexistent file.

But this is not the case here.  Instead, it returns the resolved file
name, which is a nonexisting file.

This is with emacs -Q, and with all Emacs versions I tried, which were
23, 24 that come with Debian testing, and a recent built from trunk.

Tested on Debian testing. 


Thanks,

Michael.
