Remy, are there some Tomcat (TC) tests that already address this issue?
I'll try and port the work done in TC to VFS, but I also don't want to 
invent new tests if they already exist.

I think this should be in VFS, since TC is probably not gonna be the 
only one that will face this issue (or is already facing it).
