I'm not going to do any research either....  But, I did want to point
out one thing.

Sometimes a broken link isn't a "broken link".  If the link points to a
file in a directory to where you don't have access.  An example of this
would be /etc/named.conf in a chroot environment.  As a normal user
you'd go to /etc and see named.conf flashing....but it really isn't broken.
