#11 follow symlink fails on first try
trying to follow a symbolic link in a project seems to
go to the file for the buffer that is currently open.
steps to reproduce:
(1) make symbolic link in project to file outside
project [file-link].
(2) start emacs, ecb-activate, find-file to file in
project [file-proj].
(3) find-file to file created in step 1 [file-link].
(4) emacs should prompt to follow symlink [y or n], say
yes.
(5) buffer seems to reload, mini-buffer will now read
"followed link to [file-proj]" and the buffer shows the
contents of [file-proj].
(6) find-file again to same file created in step 1
[file-link].
(7) buffer reloads to [file-link]. mini-buffer does not
show any message.
opening links work as expected w/o ecb running.

just found more out.. it looks like it might be related to
the link going to a file under CVS control.. the following
error happens when i ecb-activate right away after start-up,
and the link-file is the first one i go after.
