Component:  Media         |     Version:  2.8.4                                          
 Severity:  normal        |    Keywords:  errno=40, media, images, uploads, symbolic link

 In the media library, in 2.8.4 (this bug existed for me in 2.8.3 as well),
 image uploads return the following error:

 Warning: is_dir() [function.is-dir]: Stat failed for
 /nfs/c01/h03/mnt/32054/domains/xxx.xxx.xxx/html/wp-content/uploads/2009
 (errno=40 - Too many levels of symbolic links) in
 /nfs/c01/h09/mnt/32054/domains/xxx.xxx.xxx/html/wp-includes/functions.php
 on line 1942

 I am unable to upload new images, or manipulate images that are currently
 in the system.  This error message is repeated all the way down the page
 in the media section of the admin screen, and appears three times after
 attempting to add a new image.

 This site is hosted on a Media Temple Grid Server.  There is a recent
 forum posting I found that confirms the issue is not isolated to just me:
