Scan collection runs infinitely when encountering softlink to "." directory. I
had this problem when doing the first/initial collection scan.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mkdir LinkCollection ; cd LinkCollection; ln -s thumbs .
2. Copy 3 images to LinkCollection
3. Add a new Collection with LinkCollection as base directory

Actual Results:  
Scan never completes. When looking at the /proc/ filesystem  you can see that
the directory is revisited again and again:
ls -l /proc/DIGICAM_PID/fd/
