[Gnu-arch-users] PANIC: i/o error in arch_inventory_traversal/is_nested_tree

[Aaron Bentley]

I'm getting a panic for the case where a precious directory is not 
accessible.

I can work around the problem, but...

This seem pretty silly to me.  Alright, I understand how it could 
happen, but =tagging-method says "Traversal does not descend into 
precious directories".  I think it's okay to actually descend into 
precious directories, as long as tla behaves as if it doesn't.

However, since tla would not get a PANIC if it descended into this 
directory, something needs to be changed.  I believe the documented 
behaviour would be better, since it handles more cases and performs 
faster.  And it would also be nice if PANIC messages explained *why* 
they were PANICing.
