I have noticed that OS X sometimes fails to make a case distinction in
the names of files. E.g. if I have a file ``junk'' and I try to create
a directory using ``mkdir Junk'' it will refuse to do so saying ``file
exists''.
It's a (mis)feature of the underlying HFS+ file system that names are
not case sensitive (but are case preserving).
R is just carrying over this behaviour. OS X 10.6 will have ZFS (by
default?), it probably won't be an issue with that file system.
