I think the idea is that if you need the path, save the path from when you=
=20
have it, rather than depend on being able to get it again later.

For instance, for procfs's "exe" symlink, rather than depend on reverse=20
name cache entries, save the path you originally used to exec the program=
=20
in the first place. :-)

Take care,
