Symlinking Spark Library crashes Spark

[fiedl]

I'm trying to put my Spark Library.splib under version control within my dotfiles repository. In order to do this, I'm replacing the Spark Library by a symlink:

cd "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Spark"
mv "Spark Library.splib" "$HOME/.dotfiles/spark/Spark Library.splib"
ln -s "$HOME/.dotfiles/spark/Spark Library.splib" "Spark Library.splib"

After that, starting Spark does not work:

Could you have a look into that? Thanks!

Also, symlinking only one of the contained files, e.g.

cd "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Spark/Spark Library.splib"
mv "SparkActions" "$HOME/.dotfiles/spark/Spark Library.splib/SparkActions"
ln -s "$HOME/.dotfiles/spark/Spark Library.splib/SparkActions" "SparkActions"

is enough to cause the crash

Symlink on a contained file is not and will not be supported, but symlink to the library is fixed by 7e3f43b
