When using "-I dirname" to include header directory, if dirname is a symbolic link, cscope won't find the files there. eg.
test.c:
<code>
include "inc.h"
</code>
where inc.h is in /dir and /dirname is a symlink to /dir, then "cscope -I /dirname" won't read /dir

A good while ago, we decided to err on the side of caution regarding the problem of infinitely recursive symlinks --- so we reject symlinks outright.
