Thanks for this bug report.  

This actually pointed out a number of other potential places where
there would have been problems.  The reason is that the system call
readlink does not NULL terminate strings, and the recent code had
ignored this.

This is a very strange bug.  We have not been able to reproduce this,
but I have seen that icons change magically under us.  Something is
fishy on the new icon managing code federico wrote.

That is correct.
