I discovered an odd thing this morning: on XP/Pro it is apparently not 
permitted to call a directory or file "con".  It doesn't complain or give 
you any sort of error, it just doesn't work.  [actually, it is a bit more 
amusing than that: I was unzipping a .zip file that had a bunch of stuff 
stored in a 'con' directory... and that really hosed the unzip-wizard..]

Why is that a forbidden file name?  And are there other secret forbidden 
file names?
