Emacs version: 18.58.10
OS: SunOS 4.1.{1,2,3}
Since moving to 18.58 dired no longer follows symbolic links. All attempts to follow one, either by C-xC-v and giving a name which happens to be a link, or by trying to open or view a link already being displayed in dired.
(This is particularly annoying around here since ~/ happens to be a symlink.)
Anyone else see this?
