I guess that's normal, then. It seems they're using the symlink target
as the actual *data*, not a link to another file that contains the data.
Why? I have no idea. I seem to recall one of the BSDs doing something
like this, but I never fully understood the rationale. Something about
atomic operations, maybe?
