This makes sense; unfortunately, with a remote debugger I have no way
of knowing where exactly the controller is and it may be running on a
different system (same OS, but a different computer), so I can't
really compare file numbers/inodes. Also, in the debugger I only see
relative paths reported and I didn't want to drag lfs or something
similar into this to get current directory and map relative paths to
absolute ones.
