I am working in an symlinked environment using a single codebase for multiple wikis. I observe one strange behaviour regarding the storage of the generated thumbs for files embedded via InstantCommons. Some of them ended up in the image directory of the symlinked codebase and not in the image directory of the respective wiki which is not symlinked. The thumbs of directly uploaded images end up in the expected location, i.e. /images/thumb/ of the respective wiki. The thumbs of newly via InstantCommons embedded files also end up in the expected directory as expected. The dislocated thumbs continue to be used via the unexpected image directory of the code base. This dislocation of thumbs seems to have happened during the upgrade process from MW 1.20. to 1.21.
