Whoever came up with the idea of a case-insensitive filesystem should be shot (or at least, whoever decided to keep doing that after moving off of DOS). I have worked around this problem (I think) by renaming the extension module to '_timestamp.so'. I released a 4.0.1 to PyPI with this fix, along with a fix for the int -> long overflow on 32-bit systems. > I think TimeStamp.c has been there before and is imported in other > modules as "from persistent.TimeStamp import TimeStamp".

I don't see the need for the BBB-preservation here: I documented the backward-incompatibility in CHANGES.txt instead.
