When I run the staff solution in a directory containing a symbolic link that points to itself, I get the error message "stat(NAME_OF_LINK) failed". However, doing the same thing with the find command gives an ELOOP error: "too many levels symbolic links. 

Which error message is actually representing what is going on?
