[New-bugs-announce] [issue7759] mhlib fails on Btrfs filesystem (test_mhlib failure)

[Neil Schemenauer]

New submission from Neil Schemenauer <nas-python at arctrix.com>:

Btrfs does not maintain a link count for directories (MacOS does the same I think). That confuses mhlib.py because it uses os.stat().st_nlinks as an optimization.

The attached patch removes the optimization and make test_mhlib pass on Btrfs (and probably HFS+) filesystems.
