Comment:

 This was discussed in a triage session today.

 It seems reasonable to account for `realpath()` returning false, I've
 added a needs tests keyword and moved this to the Plugins component.

 [http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.realpath.php Per the
 documentation], `realpath()` returns false in the following circumstances:
 * the file does not exist
 * the script does not have execute permissions on all directories in the
 hierarchy
