Wouldn't base_len be always -1 here?

hmm, I just moved that part around.

Maybe it is easier not to do the recursive thing unless the alternate
is absolute path, and also as a purely safety measure, limit the
maximum recursion depth to something low like 5, similar to recursive
symlink resolution.

Agreed.
Lets see if I have some free time in the evening ;-)
