This bug has been copied from bug #291591 and has been proposed to be backported to 4.5 z-stream (EUS).
I expect that this patch won't need any backporting for Z stream. Let me know if it doesn't apply cleanly.
Created attachment 258281 [details] patch -- don't apply CTO getattr to symlink This patch should apply cleanly to -55.0.13 (with just a little offset).
