ssl: Too many levels of symbolic links.

OK. I don't get this. I have a symlink: ln -s /etc/ssl /usr/jails/mail.blah.net/etc/

When I go into the jail the link is listed with ls -l, but when I check the link function I get the error:

Code:
ssl: Too many levels of symbolic links.
As far as I can tell, there are no other ssl symlinks and no nested links. Are there any tricks to evaluating this?
 
I guess that within the jail the symlink actually points to itself, i.e. /etc/ssl == /etc/ssl

Edit: exactly.
