Hello,

I've found a problem related with function "Shell link" and symbolic links:
if I try to view(F3), edit(F4) or copy(F5) a file via symlink, I only get
first few bytes...
I think this could be fixed in vfs.c function fish_linear_start, using option '-L'
in 'ls', changing
                "#RETR /%s\n"
                "ls -ln /%s 2>/dev/null | (\n"
                  "read p l u g s r\n"
                  "echo \"$s\"\n"
                ")\n"
to
                "#RETR /%s\n"
                "ls -lnL /%s 2>/dev/null | (\n"
                  "read p l u g s r\n"
                  "echo \"$s\"\n"
                ")\n"
