A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The function Path.toRealPath(LinkOption... options) when called with LinkOption.NOFOLLOW_LINKS contain logic that does not eliminate ".." where the previous element is a link.
That logic fails to work when a link is followed by "../..".
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Create a symbolic link "/path/to/link" that point to "/absolute/path/to/target"
Create a file "/absolute/path/some_file.txt"
Create a Path object "/path/to/link/../../some_file.txt"
Call the function toRealPath(LinkOption.NOFOLLOW_LINKS), the result will be a non-exiting path "/path/to/some_file.txt" instead of "/path/to/link/../../some_file.txt".
FREQUENCY : always
