Well, it is a well known behaviour of Unix. Why not look at some other
possibilities to find out the directory if going up the stream don't
work?
While looking at variables might not be as trustworthy, it is a
possibility. And can you please explain to me why Emacs just have to
know the path to where I happen to be?

While this solution might be good in theory, it is not always
applicable. I don't have access to change the mode of the directories
higher up in the tree, and in this specific case, this it not a good
way anyhow, since the University in this case force us to be a little
careful with our files.
