Difference in islink (pyfakefs True, Python False)

I thought you were done with pyfakefs ;)

Too good an example to ever let up on! I just was busy, and had no new toys to try out. These are accidental byproducts of looking for cases where you (or better yet OS X) fail an operation, then succeed (or fail with different error) on an immediate retry, for some work on detecting bad nondeterminism.

I'm hitting pyfakefs with afl right now, via the new afl->TSTL test generator.

After I fix these accidental byproducts (which may take some time, knowing your usual productivity in creating new issues) I may have a look at this stuff... sounds interesting.
