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.
Thanks.
Any idea when 10.6 will come out? And when it does, how enormous a task
will it be to upgrade to 10.6?
cheers,
