It leads to lots of unwanted errors. rsyncd is claiming: 2004/08/06 00:53:42 [6722] readlink "releases/i386/5.2.1-RELEASE/5.2.1-RELEASE/5.2.1-RELEASE/5.2.1-RELEASE/5.2.1-RELEASE/5.2.1- RELEASE/5.2.1-RELEASE/5.2.1-RELEASE/5.2.1-RELEASE/5.2.1-RELEASE/5.2.1-RELEASE/5.2.1-RELEASE /5.2.1-RELEASE/5.2.1-RELEASE/5.2.1-RELEASE/5.2.1-RELEASE/5.2.1-RELEASE/5.2.1-RELEASE/5.2.1- RELEASE/5.2.1-RELEASE/5.2.1-RELEASE/5.2.1-RELEASE/5.2.1-RELEASE/5.2.1-RELEASE/5.2.1-RELEASE /5.2.1-RELEASE/5.2.1-RELEASE/5.2.1-RELEASE/5.2.1-RELEASE/5.2.1-RELEASE/5.2.1-RELEASE/5.2.1- RELEASE/5.2.1-RELEASE/5.2.1-RELEASE/5.2.1-RELEASE/5.2.1-RELEASE/5.2.1-RELEASE/5.2.1-RELEASE /5.2.1-RELEASE/packages/Latest/nessus-devel.tbz" (in FreeBSD) failed: Too many levels of symbolic links and it is producing lots of endless loops in other scenarios, too.
