I am not sure why this assertion fails, but I think I know why it is
important. On windows file paths may be different as strings but point to
the same file. To detect duplications among native modules it is
necessary
to have unified form to compare names as strings. So it seems like all
library names should be lowercase. I dunno why one of them doesn't
satisfy
this requirement.
I recall there is port_filepath_canonical() method specifically to
solve this, and at least classpath items were canonicalized during VM
startup. Maybe this step is just missing for libraries... But why it
started to fail only now?
Because that was utterly insane to assume that all resources were in the
same directory as the running executable, so I took that out at least
for one thing and I'm going back now to solve.
And I thought that method name was misleading, because it didn't return
a canonical path for something, it returned the concatenation of the
running executable's full path and whatever it was passed. Like the
name of my cat.
Which brings me to a good question I'll ask in a separate thread re APR
string pools.

I think this assertion failure needs investigation before we decide it
should be removed.
Agree.
