New Comment:
It is not an absolute path but a relative path to the current drive.
It can have very different meanings withing a request (PWD and co). I remember
to
have made a doc about that back then, let me find it back and try to provide a
fix
or document it better.

Description:
------------
If a path includes a symlink that points to a path like \xxx\yyy, PHP
understands
it as a relative path, while it's actually an absolute path (or quasi-absolute,
as it doesn't have a drive letter).
Expected result:
----------------
foocontents
Actual result:
--------------
