Why are strings linked lists?

Hi!

Calling isSymbolicLink always returns False... (ghc-6.0.1linux binary 
tarball)
It doesn't make a difference whether the symbolic link points
to a regular file or a directory.
Test code:

#ln -s test link
#ghc Test.hs -o test
#./test
False
#

Test.hs:

module Main(main) where
import System.Posix
main = do
 status <- getFileStatus "link"
 print (isSymbolicLink status)
