It's not that unlikely, unless you claim to have read all man pages for
all *nix flavours ... For example, the Irix and SunOS man pages for
realpath() say in the NOTES section that

	realpath() may fail to return to the current directory if an error
	occurs.

The GNU manpage doesn't say anything alike. And realpath() _is_ already
used in the VM.

Btw, will your FFI be disabled on VM level in browser mode?
