Description:
------------
SplFileInfo::getOwner() and SplFileInfo::getGroup() give a warning on broken symlink. This is probably due the fact that the function follows the symlink. 

Reproduce code:
---------------
system: ln -s nothing /broken

<?php
	$fi = new SplFileInfo('/broken');
	echo $fi->getOwner();
	echo $fi->getGroup();
?>

Expected result:
----------------
rootroot

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: SplFileInfo::getOwner() [function.SplFileInfo-getOwner]: stat failed for /broken in /home/arnold/projects/jasny/jasny-explorer/webroot/index.php on line 6

Warning: SplFileInfo::getGroup() [function.SplFileInfo-getGroup]: stat failed for /broken in /home/arnold/projects/jasny/jasny-explorer/webroot/index.php on line 7
