[erlang-questions] filelib:fold_files doesnt work for symlink anymore (on Erlang/OTP 17)?

[José Valim]

It is a regression on Erlang 17.1.

It has been reported here:
http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-bugs/2014-June/004465.html

And a pull request to fix it is here: https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/417
