d0121a5 created the issue

Had a broken symlink on my server and Cyberduck choked until link was removed.

To test:
On an SFTP connection, create a broken symlink (ln -s foo bar, where bar doesn't exist)
Connect to that server. Cyberduck will give the message:
"SSH Error: Listing directory failed
/path/minus/broken/link
A reference was made to a file which does not exist"

Remove the broken link, and the problem goes away.

Why it's bad: The only two options after this error dialog are "Cancel" and "Try Again". Any directories after the broken link alphabetically aren't shown.

What it should do: Show the link in red and continue?

Cyberduck version: Version 2.8b1 (3161)
OSX: 10.4.10

Thanks!
