BTW, PATH_MAX in limits.h states that the length of a symbolic link (like any path) cannot exceed 1023 characters... (leaving \0 out)

Hmm, what do you think about this:
356352: readlink("./test", "", 6)                       Err#34 ERANGE
Which would mean that the path name in the symbolic link is longer than the BufferSize value of the readlink call...
BTW, this is AIX ;)

You might try to strace that smbd to see if this error message comes from the kernel.
