I get "Press ENTER or type command to continue" but not when using symlinks.

Hi,

this is another "Press ENTER or type command to continue " question,
but this time it's a bit different and bit bizarre. My vim version at
the end of this message.

I have a directory with some symbolic links:

$ ls -al docs/man-todo docs/tips
lrwxrwxrwx 1 oc oc 46 Feb 3 08:27 docs/man-todo ->
/home/oc/Documents/BSD-Cert/man-todo-final.txt
lrwxrwxrwx 1 oc oc 56 Apr 30 19:40 docs/tips ->
/home/oc/Documents/BSD-Cert/fortunes/freebsd-tips-rework

When I launch either of the files (in /home/oc/Documents/BSD-Cert/) with:

vim -u NONE /home/oc/Documents/BSD-Cert/man-todo-final.txt
or:
vim -u NONE /home/oc/Documents/BSD-Cert/fortunes/freebsd-tips-rework

I get "Press ENTER or type command to continue" every time I enter ex
mode, but I never get it when I use:

vim -u NONE /home/oc/docs/man-todo
or:
vim -u NONE /home/oc/docs/tips

This doesn't happen at all if I omit the "-u NONE" argument.

The only thing that could explain this is that the original directory
is on a vfat partitions, whereas the symlinks are on a ext4 partition.

Any clue?
