Hi
Ouch, the well-known case-preserving but case-ignoring default behaviour of MacOS X's file system bites someone again.
In short: Mac OS X's filesystem ignores case when opening a file, but preserves case when creating.
FWIW, Windows has exactly the same behaviour. Technically you can change to case sensitive at format time, but I've never actually seen anyone running in this mode. Thanks Neil
