Description:
------------
The fopen function (and maybe other filesystem related functions) can't handle CDSL files/directories.
CDSL stands for context dependent symbolic link and it's a feature of Oracle Cluster FileSystem 2 (OCFS2).
While fopen works fine with regular files and directory inside an OCFS2  filesystem, gives "failed to open stream: No such file or directory" for  CDSL files. 

Reproduce code:
---------------
make a OCFS2 filesystem (you can setup it even with 1 node).
Create a regular file (touch test)
Transform it in a cdsl file (ocfs2cdsl -t hostname -c test)
fopen("test","w"); => Warning: fopen(test) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in ...

Additional elements that could help in debugging:
CDSL link are special soft links.
Issuing a stat on this files you obtain this:

File: `test' -> `.cluster/hostname/{hostname}/test'

Should it be that the php filesystem related functions misinterpret this link, that should be followed by a syscall to the VFS?

Note to PHP developers: this is nothing to do with OCI8.
