Just following this thread I did some digging and I think readlink is 
working as written. :-)

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/aix/v6r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.aix.basetechref/doc/basetrf2/symlink.htm

I think we either need to add AIX to the ifdef or properly handle the 
ERANGE. The former looks easier. ;-)

At any rate, Joshua, are you using the 32- or 64-bit version of 3.3.7? I 
have a 32-bit patched smbd replacement you can test with the original 
patch Volker suggested. I can make a 64-bit if you need that. Interested?

Cheers,
Bill
