I can't seem to edit any files named "aux.c" . Why is this happening to me?
Steps to reproduce:
echo "weidness" > aux.c
vi aux.c --> "aux.c is not a file"
similar results with other editors / operations.
the "file" command reports it as character special device?
This is weird and poses difficulty porting packages that have an aux.c file.
