Ah, yes, I thought it might be xdvi triggering that to happen.

It would indeed be really nice to have xdvi disabled in the main teTeX
package and have it separately packaged (as an X11 related package :-)

(I've also often wanted a stand-alone xdvi!)

A quick google search for "readlink tetex" suggests there are quite a
few people having problems with, or being confused over, the "readlink"
in teTeX.

Several times now I've thought maybe readlink(2) support should be
included in stat(1), though for the most part I find ls(1) to be
sufficient.  Either way I think readlink(1) is a waste of a directory
entry in any bin directory!  ;-)
