But it looks like a workaround to fix up st_size is not necessary, because both Krusader and ls (just two examples I could easily find) work without changing st_size. Note that they use a different way to check whether the current file is a symlink, not sure if that makes the difference though.

But in certain situations, it returns inappropriate value.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">For example, "/proc/self" or "/sys/bus/cpu/devices/*" returns its size is 0 , and then readlink fails with EINVAL.(so link won't be shown in kde application.)
TMSU seems it returns its target's actual filesize insted of the link's filesize itself.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">This patch changes the buffersize to 1024 bytes if it is 0.
And later truncate it to actual size.</p></pre>
