But that makes no sense to me. If the OS is designed to potentially remove
running programs (or parts of it) from memory it cannot allow overwriting
the file on disk in any case. When it does so, it cannot remove parts from
memory because it may not be available on disk anymore. So it must disallow
the disk change from the beginning, otherwise it may not be able to remove
anything.

In these links I didn't find any explanation that tell me if (and if yes, why) 
it *sometimes* does not work.
