+The /hurd/symlink translator does not work as expected:
+
+    % settrans -ca broken /hurd/symlink missing
+    % file broken
+    broken: empty
+
+Here is the expected behavior, as implemented by the short-cut logic
+in lib*fs:
+
+    % ln -s missing broken_symlink
+    % file broken_symlink
+    broken_symlink: broken symbolic link to missing
