Curse of Monkey Island won't load via cdrom mount on Linux

Description

I think Linux directory detection has a bug when viewing files on a mounted cdrom.

This seems like a valid use case, and I expect the issue would affect other games as well.

Note that this works correctly on Windows.

Found in 1.9.0.

Steps to reproduce this:

  1. Insert COMI cdrom into Linux machine
  2. Mount the cdrom with:

mkdir cdmnt
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom cdmnt/

  1. Open ScummVM
  2. Click Add Game menu
  3. Navigate to the cdmnt folder and enter it
  4. Note that the directories (ex 'resource' folder) do not appear as folders (they look like other files).
  5. The game will add and detect, but when launching will fail with "scummvm error cant open bundle file musdisk1.bun" (that file is in the resource folder)
  6. When copying the files from the disc to a directory on the computer, directories such as resource and install folders appear correctly and can be entered. The game locale is also detected correctly and it can be launched.

I suspect the cause of this is due to the file system link count.

My mistake, this issue was actually found on a fork of scummvm and its their bug!

Ok, thanks for following up; I had tried to reproduce it myself with a cdemu device in ScummVM, but failed to.
