>Description:
Mounting a disc as UDF which contains symbolic links with absolute path does not work correctly.
For instance a link
mounttab -> /etc/mounttab
is seen as
mounttab -> /etcmounttab

>How-To-Repeat:
Download http://db.bme.hu/suranyi/UDF_abs_link.iso
Mount the image as UDF.
Do ls -l for the directory the image is mounted to.
You would see
lr--r--r--  1 root  wheel  25 Jan  1  1970 mounttab -> /etcmounttab
or similar.
However it should be
lr--r--r--  1 root  wheel  25 Jan  1  1970 mounttab -> /etc/mounttab
or similar.

>Fix:
Reference: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/fs/udf/udf_vnops.c?revision=227293&view=markup

Revise the blocks starting at line 972.
