At least I (partially) solved myself one problem:

VI:
---
I found what fools vi (or the file open mechanism...)

>"vi foo.bar" : opens the file, everything is right.
>"vi /mydir/nextdir/foo.bar" : opens an empty file named foo.bar
>"vi ../../mydir/nextdir/foo.bar" : opens the file, everything is right.
>"cat /mydir/nextdir/foo.bar" : shows the file, everything is right.

"nextdir" is a mounted directory, it is not on "C:\Root_Unix\mydir" but
somewhere else on the disk, on "C:\Root_Applications\nextdir".
I mount it using "mount -b C:\\Root_Applications\\nextdir /mydir/".

So I know what make the problem arise, but not why. Any clue ?
