As far as I can see, dir_check_this() is only called with
a symlink argument when used with -x.

However, -x will already have converted to realpath in case
it is sent to an already-running filer with a different cwd.

So, I don't see how this patch can make any difference...
(actually, I not sure we need the existing realpath at all!)
