How is this a BUG? It's just a feature on windows where you have
case-insensitive filenames. I fyou want to handle that, just use one
style in your code (ie, always lower case).
About your sig:
"I wonder if I could request that you ditch the ridiculous ten-line
.sig? If not completely, then at least from this list? It's the ASCII
equivalent of walking out of a public restroom with toilet paper hanging
out of the back of your pants. The longer it is, the sillier you look."
