[3.14] gh-127146: Emscripten: Fix pathlib glob_dotdot test (GH-135624) (#135653)

miss-islington · hoodmane · web-flow · commit 9f63a54aec6f · 2025-06-18T04:19:43.000Z
The Emscripten path resolver uses the same mechanism for resolving `..` at a file system root as for resolving symlinks. This is because roots don't store their mountpoints. If the parent of a node is itself, it is a root but it might be a mountpoint in some other file system. If a path has enough `..`'s at the root, it will return ELOOP. Enough turns out to be 49.
