Quite possible.
And it does not contain any symlink resolution, right?
That's correct, and by design. If you give a path where the absolute part 
of the path contains some symlink that eventually gets you to the right 
point, you get screwed. That's part of why I'd _prefer_ to do the "die()" 
part, so that you get screwed with a nice error message, rather than being 
screwed by getting unexpected results!
