at the top center.

Also improve here and there the one-line program description.

Karel Zak d8ef4c19ab namei: fix logic and infinite loop of symlinks
Don't follow the path if a component is not directory.  It doesn't make sense
to support something like:

	$ touch a b
	$ namei a/b  <-- where "a" is not directory

The support for infinite loop of symbolic links is a strange wish only. The
stack size is very limited. Try:

	$ ln -s x
	$ namei x/x

[Migration note: severity="low"]
